Today I have a CAS card - something I don't often make. For some reason I struggled with this week's sketch until I saw this pretty card on Brenda's blog. It inspired me so I CASED it to make my card this week. Thanks Brenda :) Here's this weeks TMS sketch #424...
I started by masking off a rectangle area on white cardstock with post-it notes, then sponged distress inks of Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, and Mustard Seed. Next I stamped the (retired) SU! Upsy Daisy image in Versafine black ink. For the corner element I stamped 3 birds from a SNSS Serene Silhouettes stamp set. I added a sentiment panel with a MFP sentiment heat-embossed with white on black. I placed this all on a black mat and then a pumpkin pie card base.
Please check out my DT member's blogs for some more inspiration in using this great sketch by Melissa. You can find them here:
Thanks for dropping by and have a fabulous day!
