CTS15 - Shhhh!


Can you keep a secret? This card, that I made for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch challenge is for my daughter's birthday which is not until early March. Here's the sketch:



One of the best things about making your own cards is the ability to personalize them and customize them for the occasion.  I kept this card very clean, but still personalized it by embossing KATE (using TCP Coolvetica) in clear embossing powder. The sentiment is Papertrey, the 1 is Parker numbers from Memory Box and the 0 is a 3/4" circle punch.

Another great thing about making cards is that I get to come to all your blogs and see how you've interpreted  the sketch - can't wait! The deadline is next Tuesday at noon, so go get busy!

  6. Oh my goodness! This is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I love it!!! Your daughter is going to love it too! The clear embossing of her name is an amazing touch - I may have to try this-all I need is an alphabet stamp set now!

    Thank you for reminding me that my card qualified for the CASology challenge this week! I was going to make another card to enter into it so maybe I'll have two to enter this week! :)

  17. Holy kamoly girl, this is beyond fantastic. The clear embossed background is a one heck-of-a-lot-of careful stamping/embossing! I admire your determination (personally, I would have quite after row 1). The single blue rhinestone melts my heart!
