I couldn't help using another of the Altenew Beautiful Day flowers I created while I had my hot little hands on Bobby's stamps! This time I also used her inks!
For CTS #170:
My panels were cut from a 4.25 x 5.5 inch panel of Fog cardstock, then cut to mimic Hannelie's sketch. I opted to use an MFT die to
add faux stitched lines on the upper panels, and to the card base to form the other panels.
OH I do LOve grey, plus any other color!
I hope I have inspired you in some little way to play along with us at CAS[E] this Sketch this week!
I'm off to check on my team-mates cards! You should come along! I cannot wait to see the card that inspired Hannelie's sketch - oh no, I try really hard not to peek at any of their cards until after I post mine - are you surprised?
Thanks for stopping by!

Fab idea to use the stitched dies to re-create the sketch lines in the challenge. It's a great backdrop to this beautiful purple flower, which goes beautifully with the touches of grey on your card, Michele. Love it!
My sweet, awesome friend: time for some serious catching up in your feasts-for-the-eyes gallery! Breath-taken-away with your gorgeous Beautiful Day bloom; the grey/purple/green combination, the placement, the faux stitching...in awe! This set, along with a couple others, have joined my collection! Yahoooo! Found a 'local' craft supply gal who can order them and I can pick them up when we visit the big city! How cool is that! Love your card AND you!!
Hugs~c

Well, you have certainly inspired me to play along, Michele! I love your details on the bloom and leaves so much, and that you chose 'Fog' cardstock for your upper panel! Stunning card...WOW!
So gorgeous! Love the color and your faux stitching!
Stunning Michele, love your flower and your fantastic line markings which we are all off to try out.
You've turned an odd sketch into a thing of beauty, Michele! This design reminds me of vintage and much-adored hand-embroidered pillowcases of long ago! The kind that smelled of long afternoons hanging in the sunshine on the clothesline, layered with the smell of the ironing board. Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful card! Love the soft colors and the soft texture to reflect the sketch. Wonderful!!
I definitely want to play along with CASE this sketch this week - your card is truly inspiring! So elegant! I am sure I won't manage to do elegant, just not me, ha ha!
This is gorgeous! Those flowers are breath-taking. I just love this sketch...very creative and I have lots of ideas floating around in my head! Thanks for the inspiration!
Gorgeousness abounding. The gray...oh the gray! And that sweet bloom... Wonderful soft and gentle card. Really a thing of beauty. Have a wonderful weekend my friend. Bev
Oh, how gorgeous! Such a cool layout and I LOVE these stamps! This one should be framed, too. :)
Oh, my, Michele this is so beautiful, I think you should frame it!!! Such a fantastic combination of colours and wonderful colouring - the purples with the very soft greys and the white is simply FABULOUS!!!! The faux stitched lines are so beautiful and cleverly done!!!! Oh, I keep on going for back another look!!! This is one GREAT card, my friend!!!! Absolutely STUNNING!!!

You have colored those flowers so beautifully and I love the stitched detail between those layers. Such an awesome card!
This is lovely, I like the faux stitching and the pop of purple of the flower. I think I really need to lash out on some stitching dies, I quite like the effect.
Michele!!!
You made a FANTASTIC card with my sketch!
And you made my day for saying (or thinking) such kind things about me!

Wow, Michele ... truly beautiful ... incredibly gorgeous ... a gallery-worthy piece of art, mon amie! Hugs, Anita :)
I'm thinking you should have made a few more of those flowers while I was there, Michele. Now they're gone. :( I need to get them out and make some of my own, too.
You've created a beautiful floral card with Hannelie's modern sketch, Michele! Love that grey and purple!
So WOW!
