CTS #351

Good morning!!  I seriously think I may be losing my mind this morning.  Ha ha!  I am having the hardest time organizing my thoughts and keeping on task.  I'm going to blame it on the upcoming Sunday School program at church and not enough coffee in my cup.  How's that?  I'm going to try to get myself together and get this post done because I'm excited to share this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge with you guys.  It's a great sketch this week and I really hope you'll join us.  Here's my take:

 For this card, I grabbed a kraft cardbase and masked it with some masking paper that I cut with a curved scallop border die. I inked the curve with some distress ink and then stamped my image in white ink. I removed the masking and added my Joyful frame created with green, white, and red card stock. Finally, I added a little twig from an ephemera pack I had and some enamel dots to finish it off. Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for checking out my card this week and I'll see you over at CAS(E) this Sketch! Have a great day.

Good morning and welcome to another awesome week of sketch fun!  I hope you will all be able to join us over at CAS(E) this Sketch for this super fun challenge.  You won't want to miss what the team has created!  Here's my card for the week:

I had a great time with this sketch and I got to use a stamp set that I have been dying to use since I purchased it. I stamped the Jolly Holly Cling & Clear Stamp Set from Taylored Expressions first in gold ink on my kraft card base. Next, I stamped it in black and filled in with the clear stamps using two different colors of green and red. I trimmed this piece so that it would match up with my background lines and added it with foam tape. Next, I cut Merry from gold cardstock using the retired Winter Words Die Set. I layered that with some red glitter tape and green cardstock stamped with a sentiment from the retired Winter Words Coordinates. Here's a closer look:

Can you believe we are right on the verge of 350 sketches? That just seems crazy. I think you are going to really enjoy this sketch however and you get to use it for two weeks. I always love when we have a two-week sketch challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch. It gives me plenty of time to play with the sketch and make two of three of the ideas I have floating around in my mind. I hope you will get the chance to join us in the fun. Here's the first card I created and, hopefully, I will be able to create some more.

I had a great time with this card. I started with some teal cardstock and this gorgeous snowflake stencil from Taylored Expressions. I inked it up with white pigment ink and set it aside to dry. Next, I cut out my Joy from My Favorite Things in a very light frosty blue and a snowflake from silver glitter paper. Next, I cut a little banner from PTI from a thick vellum and added my Joy with foam tape for some dimension. I added that to my card and then trimmed the edges to fit on a card base made with the same light blue paper. Here's a close up:

Thanks so much for checking out my card! I can't wait to see what you create for the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.
