Loved the CAS Challenge sketch this week. Here's my take...
After my crooked sentiment on the grad card I made for my daughter I pulled out my Stamp-a-ma-jig for this. Guess what! Still managed to get it crooked! Hello! What's up with that?!?
The paper is from a pretty stack by The Paper Studio called Mirabelle. Love the colours in this paper pack. I used Creamy Caramel for my card base (miss that retired colour). I stamped the Aida Cloth background in Versamark onto the background and sponged a bit of Frayed Burlap distress ink around the edges before layering the punched panels. A spritz or two of my beloved shimmer paint mix made it all glimmery - sure wish you could capture that in a photo.

Raining out so no outdoor photos today!

Cool take on the sketch, Izzy!!! I love these colors. Crooked, schmooked. How else would we know that this card is created by hand?? It can't be too perfect or no one would know you made it, right? I think it is just beautiful.

Great case of the card. Love the DPs and large scallops at the bottom

You might not have captured the shimmer in your photo, but you have certainly captured the favor of many members, including myself. Beautiful card! Beautiful.

Izzy I just love this card. The scalloped eyelet punches are just adorable and the papers and colors are divine. It makes for a vintage feel to this card. You slightly skewed sentiment is just charming. What a pretty card.
