CAS(E) This Sketch 90 - flower garden!

For my CASE Study post, please scroll down, or just click HERE

Hello!

I made two cards for CAS(E) This Sketch this week. I took liberties with the sketch. Big liberties, lol! I feel like I should go back and do my job properly to represent the sketch in my card. ;-) I was focused on the bottom left corner with the sentiment snuggled in there, too.

I made the first, which was definitely simple - stamp, lightly sponge, whip a water brush over some bits, add a sentiment, and it was finished!
And then I made a second, which was exactly the same, but took about ten times longer to colour.
I adore this stamp; Corner Garden by Stampin' Up! It's gorgeous in black and white, too - stay tuned for that!
I hope you are inspired to join us in this week's challenge. I'll be looking for you in the gallery!

  28. Both cards are GORGEOUS! I can't believe how different watercoloring gives to a card than straight up marker coloring. Absolutely stunning! Also think this is a lovely stamp set!
