On Saturday I did something I haven't been able to do for a while - I played along with Less Is More, where the challenge is to make a birthday card for Jen, who likes cats, fish and butterflies (I couldn't think of a good way to do all 3 on one card!). And I played along with this week's CAS(E) This Sketch:
I turned my white panel over and scored some lines on the back (using a post-it to make sure that the ends of the scored lines are all the same length). I used an MFT butterfly die and a Stampin' Up sentiment. And, introducing Smokey Slate cardstock for the card base! I think it's the perfect neutral backdrop for the pops of pink.
So, Happy Birthday Jen! I hope you have (or had) a wonderful day!
Lovely design, the embossed lines are a great idea.
ReplyDeleteFAB combo of challenges. I love the embossed lines, subtle yet so effective. Ooooh, I can't wait to get my hand on some smokey slate CS! Have to wait till July here in the UK! Hugs Bev x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to combine the two challenges Ardyth, the embossed lines give this simple design great texture.

ReplyDeleteOh that Smokey Slate looks wonderful on you! Also intrigued with the scored lines that all stop at the same spot. What a great way to define an area without using another layer.
