CTS #236

Good morning!!  Is anyone already settled in their back to school routines?  Wowza!  I woked up "late" this morning and feel like I'm chasing my own tail.  Ha ha!  Luckily, I know that slowly but surely I'll get back in the groove but I'm totally not there yet.  Lucky for me, I'm almost always in the groove when it comes to sketches and this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge is no exception.  Here's my card:


I had a great time with this card and it all started with this adorable giraffe from Pink Fresh Studio.  I decided to keep him black and white to go with the background paper.  Then I added a punch of color with a yellow piece cut using Stitched Mats: Side-Stitched Rectangles.  I needed a place for my sentiment so I went with a black piece of cardstock cut with a Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangle.  Then, I decided I needed something between the giraffe and the yellow so I softened it with a piece of polka dot vellum cut with a Fringe Scalloped Circles Die.  I finished it all off with some puffy stickers from Elle’s Studio Live Love Laugh collection.  Here's a closer look:


Thanks so much for checking in with me today!  I hope you'll join us at CAS(E) this Sketch this week!  See you there!
