CAS(E) this Sketch #108

IMG_7451


A last minute submission for CAS(E) this Sketch #108!

I haven't played in a while but I really didn't want to miss out this week. Why you ask? because the sketch was really challenging for me. I thought I had lots of ideas but when it came down to the execution, it wasn't happening. So why not take a pass this week? That would be giving up, everyone loves a good challenge right? As my Dad always said to me growing up a challenge keeps us fresh and keeps us sharp. It may not be the best card I have ever created, but it was a really enjoyable process.

I started with a white card base, then I stamped the SSS Grid Background pattern with Hero Arts Bubblegum ink. From there I die cut the new MFT scalloped edge rectangle from the new MFT Die-namics Tag Builder Blueprint 3. The heart from MFT All My Love was also stamped with Hero Arts Bubblegum ink.

    This is just so pretty Tracey. I love all that pretty in pink. Your background is just amazing, and love that with your grid stamp you can stamp this in any color you want. Need to add that one to my wish list too. Really makes for a very sweet card.

    Tracey, what wise advice your dad gave you; certainly something I plan to keep in mind, as I need an infusion of sharpness and freshness! So glad you heeded his words, because your card is a knock-out!
