CAS[E] this Sketch #140

If you are anything like me, a simple sketch can just be the hardest of all ...  I thank Chrissy for pushing my 'try harder' button this week!  Which means there are just a few more cards in the 'do over' box!  It's all good. 

Here is Chrissy's awesomeness for CAS[E] this Sketch #140:

 
Here is my card ... simple is sometimes sublime to my eyes.  I stumbled upon a package of pre-colored/pre-cut/pre-twined water-color paper tags from Heidi Swapp.  I made a tall-skinny card base from water-color cardstock - clipping the top corners to mimic the tag, and voila:
 
A girl can never go wrong adding a bit of Mama Elephant, and Technique Tuesday!
I adore the combination of rosy mauve and kraft.
 
Now just when you think I've left something off, like a 'friend' or some relative or other, I've left it for the inside sentiment... see how sneaky I am?  Instant multi-tasking card!
 
I look forward to browsing through the gallery each week... hope to see you there!

    I love how you created the ombre effect with the brush strokes and how beautifully it works with your Kraft sentiment! Such a pretty card, Michele...Clever how you shaped it to pair with the tag, too!

    Okay, love the idea of a tag card. The way you used the fun paint strokes on this is genius. I am going to have to create something for this sketch too but never would have thought of your idea. FABULOUS!!

    So fabulous! I love that you used the sketch to make a tag! (& I found this sketch to be more challenging, too....)

    I call my do-over box the recycle bin. lol I didn't realize the size of the tag until you mentioned it's actually card size. How simple and lovely is that.

    And you also rock "classy and sophisticated', too - and that is precisely what this love kraft/mauve tag/card is! Swoon-inducing...
