CAS(E) this Sketch #240


Here's this week's CAS(E) this Sketch #240, compliments of Chrissy.



Here's my take on it, thanks to some very old (c.2013) patterned paper that I found
while doing a bit of summer cleaning.



In hindsight, I should have gone simpler with a solid paper--but I went bold.
I trimmed the paper, getting as many colors as I could on one piece, and adhered
it to a white card base. I added two strips of pink card stock and finished off
the card with the white embossed sentiment and sequins.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how the rest of the team interpreted the sketch
and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, September 28th and
as the winner, you could be guesting with us on a future sketch!

    BOLD is beautiful to me, Donna! Love your take on the sketch. I think the large flowers and colors make a beautiful card! The white flower pops against the other colors.

      Hi Barbara! The paper came from a 6x6" paper pack so I took one sheet and placed it diagonally on the card base, then trimmed off the excess. I hope that makes sense!
