CAS(E) This Sketch #211

Things have been busy around here which means I'm way behind in commenting on your wonderful cards.  I say wonderful because I have stopped by quickly to see what you were creating but then kept on going to get through the over 250 emails.  I've also been making cards like crazy for my Design Teams because we will be going on vacation and I need to have them all done and scheduled before I go.  Add to that two days of cleaning out rooms in the church and working on a number of funeral dinners and I haven't had much time to even make cards just for fun.

But I do have one today for CAS(E) This Sketch.
I smooshed the background with Distress Oxides, then stamped the PB flowers and sentiment in Onyx Black.  I lifted some of the color from the petals but they weren't white enough for me so I painted them with acrylic paint.  I think this looks like Michele's sketch.
I'm so glad you dropped by.

This is GORGEOUS, Bobby! I love your oxide ink smooshing! I've got some of the inks but haven't had time to play with them yet. Hopefully soon! Love your white petals!

Oh, Bobby, this is so wonderfully dreamy and whimsical ... the creaminess of those Distress Oxide inks in the background is gorgeous! Commenting ... we've all been there ... worry not ... and enjoy your vacation! Hugs, Anita :)

What a beautiful card, and terrific interpretation of Michele's inspiration piece! I love the colors and the beautiful florals, making that white really pop! Oxides? I have yet to figure out the difference between them and the regular DIs... Congrats on the CTS Favorites too!!!

I hear you about being ultra-busy so do NOT, even for a second, worry about visiting/commenting on my posts! I'm in a DT frenzy as well, in addition to juggling numerous other things! I'm catching up with your gallery because I 'need' to: inspiration to be found! Speaking of which: your smooshing technique here has sparked ideas of creating a lovely background as a stage for a simple, yet eye-catching image! Another delight!
