This is my card for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge:
There are some people at our church who are going through sickness and loss, and so this week I made some sympathy/thinking of you cards to send and to have on hand.
This card puts a feminine twist on the very graphic sketch inspiration. I am trying to sort through my old clear stamps (I used to store them by theme rather than by manufacturer) and identify the manufacturer where I can. I am convinced that these pretty flowers came from a wedding (cake?) set that PTI put out, but I can't find it anywhere. ETA: (Piece of Cake) However, by cutting the little groupings apart, they create a pretty floral cascade.
For the sentiment I combined Stampin' Up's Crazy About You and a retired Technique Tuesday 'you'. I quite like how they work together.
I used 2 of my Avery Elle Double-Pierced Rectangles to create the interest around the edges.
ETA (Jan 25): Woohoo! Picked as a favourite!
Oh so pretty! This is a winner :)

ReplyDelete... a bit behind in commenting. Eric had a small surgery so I have been busy with 'nurse mommy' duties these past few days.
Love the cascade of flowers and the pierced rectangles add great texture. I need to remember to do that once in a while on a CAS card to add interest.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous card, Ardyth! Your bright colors jumped out at me from the linky - such a great interpretation of the sketch. The cards will definitely bring cheer to those suffering from loss or sickness.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is beautiful! I love your fabulous take on the sketch!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! All the piercings make it look so feminine and I love how you used the second mat. It's interesting how using both mats together make it look not so busy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors and detail..... love how you've used the Piece of Cake florals (one of my PTI favs)!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally awesome, Ardyth!! LOVE!!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty, Ardyth ... the lovely graduated colours in your floral cascade are gorgeous ... there's a wonderful sense of warm hope about them ... perfect with that fab sentiment! Hugs & bisous, Anita :)
