CAS(E) This Sketch 148

Hello, hello!  Today I've got some EXCITING news to share!  I am now a card-carrying member of the CAS(E) This Sketch design team!  Woo Hoo!  Can you believe it?  I was floored when Chrissy asked me to join them and, of course, said yes.  A resounding YES!  For my inaugural week we've got this fabulous sketch from Leigh Penner.



I decided to go one-layer with my card so I could play along with the Just Us Girls challenge and I was inspired by the poppy design and colors at Fusion.  At first I thought I wanted to add a sentiment off center to the left of the poppies but couldn't find something that looked right.  After I had hunted through my stash for a while I realized that I didn't need a sentiment after all and let the images stand on their own.


I'm still pinching myself that I'm part of the amazing group of talented stampers at CASE(E) This Sketch and I'm looking forward to designing alongside them for as long as they'll have me!!  Woo Hoo!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Brushed Off (Papertrey Ink); Poppy Field (Rubbernecker Stamps)
Paper:  White (Spectrum Noir)
Ink:  Harvest Gold (Papertrey Ink); Poppy Parade (SU)
