This sketch allowed me stretch my CAS muscles a bit. I wanted lots of white space with a couple of colors to go with it. Along came the color challenge at Can You Case It and this card was born! I chose to make Perfect Plum be the main color with accents from Soft Sky. I was pretty sure that I had some old Perfect Plum patterned paper hanging around and sure enough found it as part of an old Halloween set of papers. I love to re-purpose and re-use! There is a sentiment stamped above the purple layers but it's pretty light and doesn't show well in the photo. In case you can't see it it says "make today ridiculously" and, of course, the sentiment ends with that amazing die cut!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have time to check out our newest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. We'd love to see you in the gallery!

Love your card! Putting the sentiment over the purple! Thanks for joining us at CYCI! Laura
This is fabulous, Jen! I try so hard to create simpler cards, but always end up going 10 steps too far. I love this really clean and uncomplicated look.
Beautiful! I wasn't sure about those colors when I saw them first posted, but you've made them shine!
Gorgeous CAS design by Kim and that die IS amazing, lol. One of my new faves! Thanks for joining us this week at CYCI, I hope you'll be back again with us soon!

What a fun card Jen! I love the purple and blue together! Such a great sentiment!!!
I really like the way you used the sketch to show off the fun sentiment! Great use of the colors too - love the soft blue on the rich plums.
These are two colors I wouldn't have paired together, but I like them! I really, really do! :) And I love what you've done with the sketch.
