CAS(E) This Sketch #75

Hello!

It's time for a new sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch challenge! The card I made this week uses inlaid die cuts. I wanted it to be flat and easily mailable because it is for my Dad, who is in Italy. When I send him cards that are popped up I always wonder if they'll make it there in one piece! It is my Dad's birthday this week. The card is probably still in the mail. Italian mail can take a while...  My Dad isn't a blingy type of guy, but I did sneak in a shiny yellow star! Happy Birthday, Dad!
I used wPlus9 Whole Lotta Happy stamps and Star Stax die. The tag die is PTI. Colours are SU! Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight.
While I had this fabulous sketch in front of me, I also made another card. This one didn't photograph well, so I'll explain it. I punched some hearts and then ran the hearts and card base through the BigShot, causing debossed hearts across the card front. I filled these with Wink of Stella sparkles. The tag I made using Mama Elephant dies and stamps.
I've told you before how much I love these little pandas... my love has not faded yet. ;-)

Thank-you for visiting me! I hope you join us at CAS(E) This Sketch this week!

FAB! Another versatile sketch from CTS and some even more beautiful cards from you! :) I love, love, love the debossed hearts - I'm so glad you pointed that out else I'd have missed them :)

Love both the takes, the bold star and the cute pandas :)

Wow both of these are gorgeous but I'm super jealous of the first one! Masculine cards are so hard and yours is fabulous :)

Love the "happy" background, makes a perfect base for the bold, birthday star, and the panda card is ADORABLE! Great work!

I haven't decided if that panda is a winner or not, but you sure do make him look good!
