CAS(E) THis Sketch #257

It's another retro sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch and I'll show you my card for #156 but first the sketch and the updated version.

I knew I wanted to keep this light so I used my Clarity brush and some Tumbled Glass DI as the background for my PB flowers.  They're stamped three times and colored with Shaded Lilac DI.  The flowers needed centers so I pulled out my long forgotten Liquid Pearls. The SSS sentiment is popped up on foam after giving it a brush of ink too. 

This is the card I made two years ago when the sketch first aired.

Coincidentally the flowers are from the same stamp set.  I was trying my hand at no-line watercoloring.  Needless to say I don't think I've done it since.

I'm glad you dropped by today and I hope you come back again.  I love it when you leave comments, too.

Muse #44

I am so excited!  Yesterday I got my order from Papertrey Ink and today my order from Simon Says Stamp arrived.  I said once my DVD holder from Ikea was full, I wouldn't get any more stamps and dies.  Well that idea went out the window.  Sometimes you just can't resist, especially when you see what the mega-talented designers do with them.  That means in the next weeks you may be seeing some of my new things (NBUS) - beginning today.

Here is the Muse challenge by Marion Vagg.

I knew one of the stamps I ordered would be perfect for this challenge and was so glad it arrived before the deadline.

The stamp and sentiment are from Rustic Wreath from PTI, stamped in their white ink.  I blended some of the ink around the edges of the card and dotted the wreath with Liquid Pearls.  It's really not as cloudy as it looks on the screen.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful weekend.
