CAS(E) This Sketch 331

It's time for a new challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch!  This week our sketch is designed by the super talented Brian.  I'll admit those vertical layers gave me pause but I ended up finding a scrap of patterned paper with some long stripes in my stash so I separated the stripes into the correct sizes a-la the sketch and away I went!

I also wondered about the bottom layer and as I often do when I'm in a card-making pickle I go to vellum to save the day.  So I ripped a couple of strips and they became that bottom layer on the sketch.  Then I added this little gnome and a Christmas sentiment as I was done!

There are Christmas challenges all over the place so I'm going to play along with the Crazy for Challenges this week.  You know what's really crazy?  Thinking about Christmas when it's 90-degrees outside!

Thanks for stopping by!  My CAS(E) This Sketch teammates have made some fabulous cards with this sketch so be sure to check them out.  I hope you can join us in the gallery!
