A fast, fun and almost CAS card for this weeks' CAS(E) This Sketch #277.
The card base is SU! Dapper Denim, with a layer of Soft Sky and topped off with Whisper White. Thought the ink looks black on my computer screen, but the sentiment and anchor were stamped in Dapper Denim. The enamel dots are from three different packs from My Minds Eye. The sentiment is from SSS set Sail Away.
Thank you for dropping in.

A sympathy card for this weeks' CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #276.
Edited to add: There are some wonderful cards submitted for this weeks' challenge.
As usual, what I envisioned wasn't what I ended up with. Still for a sympathy card I think it is simple and calming.
When this weeks's sketch was posted the dark stars reminded me of shadows more then a different color. That lead to the idea of die cutting the leaves and offsetting it against the negative space as the base, while using a dark color under the base.
A separate negative template was made to add texture paste, but in hindsight that may have been too much. After pulling this all together, I realized that just the die against the negative base and the sentiment would have been just right.
The die is by SSS, the sentiment is Technique Tuesday, the card stock and ink is Mossy Meadow by Stampin! Up.
Happy Tuesday and thank you for stopping in!

This is my submission for this weeks CAS(E) This Sketch.
I struggled with this one all week and there are three cards, all completely different, in my trash bin that failed. Late Monday night I finally worked up this card and tonight I finished it up with some sequins.
It's a bit hard to see, but in the window there is a scrap of DP that has a diamond pattern on it. I was thrilled to find it because it was the "piece" that finally made this card, and challenge, come together for me.
Thank you for stopping by.
