We love this beautiful scene. The silhouette of the birds against the 
inky-blended sky creates a gorgeous effect.


  Helen 
This card just made us smile and we adore the sweet image. 
Helen did a fantastic job bringing it to life with her perfect choice of colours!


  Evelyn 
Such a beautiful CAS card. The dragonfly is watercolored to perfection and the 
spritz of sparkle just catches the light perfectly. Simply stunning!


Congratulations ladies and please help yourself to a ShowCASe badge from the page at the top of the blog with our thanks. We hope you'll display it proudly on your individual blogs.

Challenge #347 - Sketch 21

Hey there LIMettes, we're back with another challenge for you and it's a sketch for this week - you seemed to enjoy our last one so here goes with another! Quite by chance a few of the team seem to be in a panic about the 'celebrations' in December and have gone with a similar theme. 

We can't wait to see how your creative juices flow with this one and looking forward to visiting your blogs during the week. 

Here's the cue card followed by the sketch we'd like you to follow:

ShowCASe #345 - Colouring In

Hi there LIMettes it's time for our weekly ShowCASe post. You gave us such a difficult job selecting our favourites this week because there were some awesome projects featuring your colouring in. And you used so many different colouring mediums too.


It's never an easy job to select our favourites and we love to see all of your cards in our gallery. They inspire us every week and we hope you agree with our ShowCASe choices!

So here goes, in order of entry for 



We loved the off-the-edge placement of Giovanna's main image and the white border really emphasizes that placement. This card has beautiful colouring and shading too.

Birgit

The thing that caught our eye about Birgit's card is that the fun image, which has a lot of ground at the bottom of it, has actually been placed at the top of the card. Once again the colouring and shading are gorgeous.

TaeEun


TaeEun's card is spectacular from the colouring perspective. An impressive amount of depth in the petals of the flowers has been achieved from all the different shades of colour that were used.
 

Congratulations ladies and please help yourself to a ShowCASe badge from the page at the top of the blog with our thanks. We hope you'll display it proudly on your individual blogs.

We're sure you'll agree these are a wonderful bunch and worthy of our ShowCASe badge. Do pop along and congratulate them on their win if you have a minute.

ShowCASe #344 Royal Blue & Lime Green

Hi there LIMettes it's time for our weekly ShowCASe post and you completely overwhelmed us with your Lime Green and Royal Blue creations. WOW ... you obviously love this colour combo as much as us and gave us quite a task in selecting our favourites. 

We love to see all of your cards in our gallery, they inspire us every week and we hope you agree with our ShowCASe choices below!

So here goes, in order of entry for 




#18 Cornelia

Who can resist this stunning use of lime green and royal blue! Cornelia's, use of stencils
and graphical images is always mind-blowing and inspirational. The main focal point of
 the card is centred in one area leaving loads of blank, empty, 'white' space
which we simply adore at LIM.

#21 Milla

The subtle use of our colour combo is a delight here, creating a fresh and crisp
look. A perfectly CAS creation, again featuring loads of clean white space yet so many
elegant touches too; the splattered background, embossed stitched square, strip of vellum
with mini brad to help hold it in place.

#25 Sue

This one caught our eyes with the bold use of lime green and blue created with a
somewhat risky medium for the background, where the colours could blend in any way.
As it is Sue has managed to create an idyllic country backdrop to the crisp white die-cuts.
A simple sentiment and a beautiful card.


Congratulations ladies and please help yourself to a ShowCASe badge from the page at the top of the blog with our thanks. We hope you'll display it proudly on your individual blogs.

We're sure you'll agree these are a wonderful bunch and worthy of our ShowCASe badge. Do pop along and congratulate them on their win if you have a minute.


We'll also be showCASing all of our winners' cards on our Facebook page so why not hop on over and give us a 'thumbs up'! Here's the link you need to take you there.
