CAS(E) This Sketch 216

I had the absolute perfect stencil to use for my CAS(E) This Sketch card this week.  The sketch calls for some horizontal lines and my stencil has those - wavy lines, yes, but they're horizontal-ish!



Once I had the background settled I searched through my word dies for a good match to the sketch.  Lucky for me the code word at Addicted to CAS is "smile" and I just happen to have this fabulous smile die.  I cut it in some fun green plaid, added some navy blue for contrast and presto I can also play along with the color challenge at Global Design Project.


I hope you have a chance to play along with us at CAS(E) This Sketch this week.  Be sure to check out the inspiration from the design team and then join us in the gallery!

Thanks for stopping by!

Lovely card Jen ... so crisp and clean, those wavy horizontal lines really make the card so touchy feely. And that fine navy border ... to die for! :) xx
