Hi all! It's that time again when I get to combine the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch with the inspiration at Fusion.
The colors in the Fusion challenge happen to be all-time favorites of mine: yellow and gray with a bit of black thrown in for good measure. So I used those colors and cut some wispy die-cut leafy elements and arranged them in the style of the sketch. This is one of those cards that looked way better in my head than it does in real life! LOL!
I took a little trip down the retro lane here too. The challenge at the Paper Players was a tic-tac-toe one and one of the squares was stitching! Well, I'm up for that so I took out my little Janome mini and sewed a few lines across that horizontal layer on my card. I haven't sewed on a card in ages! But I love the bit of texture it adds. So then I needed to add some ribbon (per the tic-tac-toe) so I added some seam binding ribbon, which fit perfectly between my stitched lines. The last was die-cuts - easy peasy! And last but not least, the challenge at As You See It is to name a favorite color duo. What a coincidence!
Thanks for stopping by! My friends at CAS(E) This Sketch and Fusion have made some fabulous cards so be sure to check them out!

Beautiful, Jen! The stitching is wonderful! Such soft colors..yellow and gray is a combination I LOVE, yet rarely think to use. Thank you for playing again in my Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge at The Paper Players!
Gorgeous, Jen. You are right, the stitching is a perfect way to add texture on this fabulous CAS card. I love the colors, too! So glad you shared this beauty with us at the Paper Players this week

A beautiful soft colour combo Jen - love the addition of the stitching too for some added texture too. A CAS beauty! Thanks for playing along with us over at The Paper Players and As You See It Challenge this week!
Gorgeous! That color combo is a fave. Thanks for playing along at The Paper Players!
Soft, wispy and quite lovely!
This is the second challenge I've seen recently using grey and yellow and both have reminded me what a great combination it is. I love the softness you've achieved with them as well as the clean look. Thanks for playing along with us at As You See It Challenge.
This is sublime, I love the softness of this card. Truly a beauty!
This is fabulous, Jen! I've always loved pastel yellow and grey and the soft designs you chose to highlight the colours are perfect! With the white background, you've also created such a clean look! Thanks for sharing this with us at As You See It Challenges!
I really love this beautiful, wispy design! Well done!
Well, look at you all fancy with your REAL stitching...I just add the diecut kind usually! I love your yellow and gray combo, that is always a favorite of mine! And your florals are light and airy and very pretty! So happy you shared your card with us at AYSI as well as the Players!
Really gorgeous. The stitching is absolutely lovely. I need to stitch on my cards again. I have my machine out from making masks! I used to sew more on cards than material since the kids grew up. I love your soft colors. Just so pretty.
