A Sketch Stretch!

Hello!

I've got a CAS(E) this Sketch (challenge #44) entry for you today!  Although, "CAS(E) + artistic license this Sketch" might be more like it in this case!  I needed to make an anniversary card for my sister and her husband, so I sat down with the sketch and started playing.   It did look like the sketch at the beginning, but then it, um, evolved!  So yeah, I veered off course, but the sketch was the inspiration.  Maybe you can see it???  :)

Here's the sketch:

And my take:


I was so lucky to be selected as a PS Pro Stamper for the SPARKS challenge a few weeks ago.  Such a huge honour!  And such a generous prize!  I just received my prize (and  a *few* extras I HAD to tack on!!) and got to use them for this card!  The speech bubbles, some of the sentiments, the little man and little woman - all from the new stash!  Eeek, it was so exciting to get these in the mail!  Thank you PS!!!  Not a lot to explain on this card - pretty straight forward!  Although I have been totally into creating my own imperfect scalloped borders with white highlight these days! 

I think my sis and her hubby will like this - it is SO them!

Thanks so much for visiting!

  12. Shannon, you better get used to the idea of receiving these goodies in the mail because you are seriously rocking every challenge! I look at your cards and admire the enthusiasm of your newly discovered love of this fun craft! That love shines through in what you create! Like this card for example - such a fun and witty approach! Us old folks would never think of such a fresh and sweetly cheeky approach!

    I think you also found your signature touch with your fabulously imperfect scalloped border!
