Well, here it is. The very last CAS(E) this Sketch, and Chrissy made this one a
two weeker so you'll have time to enter several cards and play with us. Let's stretch
out this last challenge as long as we can 😉
Sketch #405 happens to be a retro sketch from April 25, 2013. Sketch #25 was also
my debut as a design team member so this post is a bittersweet one.
Here's my take on it back then.
And here's the 2021 version.
I changed the orientation so the succulent pots would be upright. They were gold
embossed and colored with Zig markers and a waterbrush. I adhered them on a strip
of patterned paper, then finished off with a gold embossed sentiment.

To commemorate the last CAS(E) this Sketch, I'd like to have a little giveaway
of some duplicates that I've had in my crafty stash. Truthfully, I wish that I could send
you all a little something for the visits you've made and the comments you left
over the past seven years.
Since I LOVE dies, I gathered five for my giveaway:
- Simon Says Stamp Thanks Frame
- Memory Box Dreamy Butterfly
- Memory Box Petite Umbrella
- Frantic Stamper Large Hello
- Frantic Stamper Quad Love
To be eligible for the giveaway, just leave a comment here by Sunday, Feb 7th and I'll
choose a winner and announce it a few days later. Easy peasy, right? And remember you
have until Thursday, February 4th to share your card with us at CAS(E) this Sketch.
Let's fill up the last gallery!
Special thanks to Chrissy, our fearless leader, for your patience and graciously
taking over the reins from Jackie Rockwell. You're the best!
Beautiful card(s), Donna! I've loved seeing what you made for this challenge, Jo x
