CTS #353

Happy 2020!!!!  How in the world is that even possible?  I'm not really sure where the holidays went but they certainly flew by.  I hope you all are having a great new year so far and are ready to play along with us at CAS(E) this Sketch.  We have a fun challenge for you guys today and I happen to LOVE how my card turned out.  It might be a loose interpretation of the sketch but, oh well!  Ha ha.  It took me awhile to create something I liked so I'm going with it.  I swear I lose all my card making mojo during the holidays and it takes FOREVER to get back.  I think I also lose a little bit of my mind because I totally forgot to photograph my card until this morning and, of course, it is pitch black out.  Oh well, some picture is better than no picture, right?  Here's my card:


I had a great but trying time creating this card for you today. I tried several different ideas and different card base colors before settling on a sunrise blend on a kraft card stock. I masked off my rectangle and then used distress ink to create my background. Next, I stamped this awesome sentiment stamp from Honey Bee Stamps in black ink and then added some gold stars. I cut this just a touch on the sides and layered it on a black card base to help the sentiment really pop. Here's another look:


Thanks so much for checking out my card for the week! I hope you will join us over at CAS(E) this Sketch.

  1. This is one of those cards I had to go try right away! I used a sentiment with bold font, but it isn't as large as yours, and masked off the area to sponge color on. Anyway, it is great and I'm so glad you posted. If I post my version, I have your info to tag you with. Have a FUNN 2020.
