CAS(E) This Sketch 231

Hello!

You would not believe how many cards I made for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge! I was starting to despair. They were all CAS (of course) and somehow they were not satisfying me AT ALL. Finally, I created a card that, while not a perfect take on the sketch, made me smile. :-) Oh, the angst of creating clean and simple cards! Some days it's impossible, haha!

I used Stampin' Up! Crazy About You stamps.

This sketch has so much more inspiration than my card shows! It's fabulous! I hope you're inspired to join us in the fun. :-)

Thanks for dropping by.

CAS(E) This Sketch 143

Hello!

It's time for another CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge! Chrissy's sketch is AWESOME! I had so much fun thinking up a card for it. :-)  I ended up with flowers and a butterfly in soft pink and purple.

I used Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamps and SU! Hello You! dies. I stamped in Tuxedo Black and added just a touch of Copic colour and a little bit of silver glimmer.

I rarely fill the top of my card like this. It was so refreshing to use a different layout that challenged me to move out of my comfort zone. Thanks, Chrissy!

Please take a little time to visit the other team members and leave some love. They've made gorgeous cards this week, as always!

Thanks for dropping in!

CAS(E) This Sketch 137 - Happy Father's Day!

Hello!

For those of you in Australia, this serves as your reminder - Father's Day approaches! If, like me, you have a Dad who is overseas, you need to get cracking and send that card! I think I may be too late. Italian mail is notoriously slow. I usually allow three weeks for a card to get there from here. I used the CAS(E) This Sketch sketch for my Dad's card.

I used SU! Crazy About You stamps and Hello You dies. Colours are Blackberry Bliss, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, and PTI Hawaiian Shores.

I took the colours from last week's Colour Q. I wish I'd made a card in time to join in, it was a great colour combo! Something completely different to my usual style, and I loved being stretched in this direction. :-)

Thanks for dropping by to visit me! I hope you join us at CAS(E) This Sketch this week!
