A Friend Like You

On Thursday I shared my project for this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge (you can see that post here), and on Friday, I shared two alternatives of the same card with measurements of the layers (you can see that post here). Since this sketch is my first as a designer for the CAS(E) This Sketch team, I’ve decided to create a completely different card with the same sketch. What fun! Here’s my card:

And here’s the banner for this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge that inspired my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Garden Impressions 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. How gorgeous are these watercolored pages from the Garden Impressions 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper? This pack is one of the most versatile papers – gorgeous florals and abstract images that can be used for projects with a masculine or feminine appeal – lots of blues and greens, along with yellows and pinks on some. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Garden Impressions 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers: Good news! The Garden Impressions 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, featured on this card, is one of ten packs of Designer Series Papers in Stampin’ Up!’s “Buy 3, Get 1 FREE” promotion in July. There’s no better time to stock up! Click on the picture below to check out the sale in my online store:
• Doily Accent. I don’t usually decorate with doilies, but I couldn’t help myself here. The delicate lines in the colored doilies are a perfect accent for this gorgeous paper. Here’s a look at the Colored Doilies:Wait?! COLORED Doilies? But that doily looks white. Oh, yeah! I flipped over one of the doilies in the pack to showcase the white side and added the sentiment punched with a 2-1/4″ Circle punch:
• Blue and Yellow. I love the mix of blues in the lower panel on this card – will have to use it more. The So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam used with the blues in the top panel are great accents for these blues – a gorgeous mix of soft, bright and neutral. If you like this combination of So Saffron, Pacific Point and Night of Navy, please save this:
