Delightful take on the challenges! You definitely nailed the sketch challenge. Love the CAS look you were able to maintain even though you used multiple panels and a patterned paper - this is not an easy to achieve! Nicely done. TFS
PS I popped over to your blog to read more about how you made this card. You commented that you would have heat embossed the sentiment but you didn’t have any black detail powder. The most successful solution to this that I have found is to get a good clear detail powder and use it with Versafine black onyx or some other good black pigment or hybrid ink. Using black embossing powder requires flawless application (any specks of powder in the wrong place show up like dots of pepper!). Clear detail embossing powder will stick to the ink and minor bits of stray powder don’t show afterward.
