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.

As always there's still time to enter our current challenge which ends at 10pm BST this evening before we announce the new one at 8am BST tomorrow morning.

ShowCASe #343 A Real Object and August Winner

Hi there LIMettes it's time for our weekly ShowCASe post and we are also including details of our monthly winner here 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 

#18 Maria

We loved Maria's cute new home card.  Clean lines, lots of white space, teeny keys,

and the cotton wool for the chimney smoke is genius!

#19 Bharati

For this challenge, Bharati created three fabulously clever cards and we just had to showcase

one of them and chose this awesome CAS creation.  A simple fun idea, fantastic graduated

blending, and by mounting on a black base it really lifts the whole design.

#32 Julie

With some clever use of diecutting, Julie created this wonderful hoodie card.

The addition of the logo, the string toggles and the T-shirt just complete this design

perfectly.  And the unfussy layering keeps everything clean and simple.

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.

Maaike

The way Maaike grounded her cute polar bear with that fun sentiment is very clever. The composition of the card is so CAS and beautiful -just look at that ink blending!

We love the clean look of Susan's card. Her simple coloring gives it an elegant feel and the use of glitter makes it very festive and striking!
