It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. This week's challenge is a sketch challenge and Deborah has asked that we add a trio of images to the lower portion of our card, along with a sentiment. Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when making your card.
For my card today I took my inspiration from those yummy-looking ring donuts in the Just Add Ink inspo photo this week, and focused on the colours of the white one at the front with the blue, pink, peach and pale yellow sprinkles. I used rings of a different kind though - take a look:
Today's card features three new products - can you spot them all? Here's the low-down on today's card:
Make A Splash - I chose inflatable rubber rings (as opposed to donuts) for the three circles of the sketch, courtesy of the new Online Exclusive set 'Splash & Relax' which will be available in May. There are some great sentiments in addition to a selection of rubber rings and beach balls in the stamp set, but the dies that coordinate are so much fun - they include a sun visor, smoothie cup and sunglasses amongst other things! I almost chose three separate die cut images, but decided to keep things simple with a trio of rubber rings. I chose the colours of the sprinkles for each one - this does make them look rather like Party Rings though! Do any of my overseas readers know what I'm talking about? Party Rings are a ring shaped biscuit (aka cookie) with pastel icing on the top that are beloved of UK children everywhere - or certainly the James Juniors and their friends when the were little.
Water, Water Everywhere - The watery detail that I used to add interest behind my rubber rings is courtesy of the new Water Decorative Mask stencil that will debut in the new April catalogue. It is paired with one that feature dotted lines and is a whopping 12" x 12", so perfect for all kind of projects large and small. You can see the detail on the close up below:
I Spy A New In-Colour - The final new item on today's card is the shade of blue that I used for the water - this is Hydrangea Hue, one of the upcoming new in-colours and it was a great match for the blue on the JAI palette above.
A sentiment from the Splash & Relax set completes my card.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

Enjoy your day and I'll be back later in the week with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
