CAS(E) this Sketch #355

Welcome to CAS(E) this Sketch #355 AND another of our throw-back/'Retro' Sketches.... a timeless design by the lovely Sam Simpson. You'll surely find lots of inspiration from the DT, both the 2016 and 2020 versions, so please play along!
Once again, I've interpreted the sketch quite literally - with lots of white space, a crisp frame and lovely sentiment from Papertrey Ink and some pops of yellow/orange (why don't I use these colors more??), courtesy of the pretty posies and greenery from The Stamp Market.
There are so many wonderfully designed creations from the DT, so be sure to take a peek and then JOIN in at CAS(E) this Sketch #355 ((the InLinkz will close at 9 am EST on Thursday, January 23rd)
P.S. - A happy hello to our GD, Allisa!!

CAS(E) this Sketch #354

Happy Thursday and welcome to CAS(E) this Sketch #354! Donna Mikasa has designed an incredibly versatile sketch to spark our creativity. We hope that you'll be inspired and will play along!!
I was craving a bit of color and pattern, so here's my version.... lots of periwinkle (my favorite color ink and patterned paper!), a few bright Green Parakeet elements and some orange accents in the petite floral/sentiment, all helping to create this happy little card.
Many thanks for joining us today! We're hoping to see your masterpiece in the CTS gallery (the InLinkz will close at 9 am EST on Thursday, January 16th).
P.S. - A happy hello to our GD, Marcie!!

Fusion Card Challenge - 'Winter'

Welcome to the first Fusion Card Challenge of 2020 - 'Winter'! The amazing inspiration photo is a wonderful starting point. But that sketch is pretty great too! So, which will you try?

The lovely sketch and photo helped to create this wintery birthday card. Although the hues are quite different, the pretty pines, snow covered trees and little log cabin remain.

The DT has provided some fabulous inspiration, so be sure to hop on over and join the party! 
When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo as you jumping off point. OR, if you are feeling super duper clever, you can fuse 'em together.
P.S. A warm welcome to the newest Fusion Card Challenge DT member, Tristan Dawes!

We hope that you'll join in at the Fusion Card Challenge and will enjoy all of the loveliness from the DT and the always amazing gallery!
