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!
