Today's CAS challenge is a sketch. I still had stuff out from throwing together an inspiration based card yesterday so I decided to make a masculine card based on the sketch using the same colors and fern images from my inspiration pillows. I stamped the ferns in Gumball Green on River Rock (man I'm going to miss this color!)and stamped some with stamped off color; then sponged the edges in Soft Suede then framed in the same. I added a chunky twine accent. I stamped my sentiment then punched and sponged. I dry embossed my base with the Square Lattice ef and sponged some Suede around the edges. This is a really great sketch that could be used for all sorts of cards-I may have to come back for more later!

I agree...a great sketch that keeps you coming back to it with more ideas...I am especially drawn to the masculine possibilities with this sketch as those guy cards can be challenging, and the CAS design of this sketch is very appealing...really like your ferns stamped and off stamped..so pretty!
