CAS[E] this Sketch #197

It was so much fun creating Cards for a Cause last week, wasn't it?  I hope you all made a few cards to share. 

This week, I'm continuing with another favorite - this time a feathered friend - from a friend!

I was thrilled to be able to play with this gorgeous Altenew Cardinal ... wishing now that I'd stamped it a dozen times!  OH!  Here is our Sketch this week:

 

Leigh gave us a pretty clean slate ... she won't mind if I add a little something... ;]
 
I adore this sentiment!  I come from a long line of singers!
Here is a first use of a gorgeous new embossing folder from #TeamRichardGaray
 
So, what do you think you'll create with this sketch?  We can always count on you to make wonderful music with them!

    I didn't know you were a singer! Very cool. Me too -- I'm an alto...and love choral music. Your card. That amazing cardinal on that lovely branch, and that embossing folder, are all fabulous together here. I'm guessing it won't be too long before that cardinal set finds a new home in your craft room, lol. Gorgeous take on a fun sketch. Bev
