Hello and welcome to CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #17.
This sketch is my Jackie Rockwell.




Love this sketch. And instead of going by the literal interpretation of the sketch. I played along a  little differently. Here is my take on the sketch.



I have used vellum speech bubbles, chipboard heart and enamel dots which came with Studio Calico's kit. The arrow die cut is from Papertrey Ink. Love the soft vellum, with trendy arrows, speech bubbles, the combination of red and blue with grey. I should say I am a bit proud how this card turned out:) Hope you like it.

Ta!

In any shape or form!

Second post for today! 
Sharing a card I made for Runaway Challenge #30



When I looked at the yellow dress, Geometric foundations from The Craft's Meow came to my mind instantly. So I combined the overlaping squares border stamp from Geometric Foundations with Flower Garden stamp set also from the Craft's Meow to make my card. Here is my take on the chellenge.


I love that sentiment and perfectly coordinates with the shapes on the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Studio Calico's New Collection card.


Hey everybody,

I have a card share today. I know I have been absent for a few days. My life became very busy. But I ma back now. I wanted to share this card I made using Studio Calico's New Collection- Snippets and Sundrifter.

I love the papers from the Snippet collection. Colourful and bright! Perfect for my liking:)  I initially didn't want to cut them out at all. Just wanted to tuck the paper pad under my pillow and sleep. lol! It took me a long time to actually convince myself to cut them out and make a card. But once I did, I was very delighted and happy with how beautiful the card looks.



Supply List: Cardstock-Stampers Select White from Papertrey Ink, Pattern Papers from Snippest 6 x 6 paper pad, Stamp Set: Snippets Miss You So much Accessories: Sundrifter Die Cut Vellum Frames. Enamel Dots from Studio Calico + My Mind's Eye. Dies: Dinamics Flower Die from MFT, Harvest Berries, Bloom Builders III from papertrey Ink Circle punch and MS 3 butterfly punch.

This is a small beautiful set with really meaningful quotes as sentiments. I love them all. It is a major confidence booster for me. Here is a card I made using this set.


I have used rock and roll technique on the birds to get a bit of shading. Don't you love that quote? And I mixing fonts is so cool! You will love it.

Here is my card based on this set.




I decided to deviate from my clean and simple cards to using pattern papers, flowers, lace and bling. I used to do this type of cards previously and having done one for Rejoice stamp set, I am liking it:)

I also love the beautiful curves in one font combined with big and bold fonts
