Here we are at Thursday again and time for a new sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch. I loved the balloon and string imagery in the sketch but didn't want to copy it exactly so I spent some time mentally going through my stamps sets to see if I had something I could substitute. Insert some divine intervention and I remembered that I had a set with some butterflies and their little fluttering trail.
The CASology cue word this week is "distress," and for me that means inserting a grungy image wherever I can, so inked one up to serve as a background to the sentiment. The colors I used were inspired by a color challenge that didn't have a chance to play along with last week, but I loved them all the same.
The cards this week from the CAS(E) This Sketch design team are so awesome this week (but you didn't need me to tell you that)! I hope to see you in the gallery there!
Supplies
Stamps: Mixed Media Elements (Stamplorations); Live, Love, Laugh and Be Happy (My Creative Time); Many Thanks (Simon Says Stamp)
Ink: Going Gray, Cherry Cobbler (SU); Onyx Black (Versafine)
