CAS[E] this Sketch #243

Donna Mikasa has charmed us once again with her eye for Sketch design!  Take a look at CTS#243:


I think you'll have no problem seeing my take on Donna's Sketch:


I used the Poppy by E.H. United We Flourish collaboration with Altenew.  My "vase" is made by white heat embossing a bit of the set's outline stamp onto a tiny scrap of vellum.  A bit of stenciling took place at the bottom of my card panel, with a simple Copic marker line above.

There is another version of it that I shared on IG last week - sneaky, huh?  I like it, but in the end decided it wasn't as true to the Sketch.  Which do you like best?


Of course we all look forward to YOUR version of our Sketches... let's go see what Donna and the team made, shall we?

Thanks for the visit!

  1. I think both cards are gorgeous, Michele! I'm partial to the first one, though...your CAS elements are just perfect and the poppy is stunning! I love Donna's sketch, so I'm putting my thinking cap on for this one :)

  3. They're both fabulous, Michele ... one soft and subtle, the other bold and CAS! I'm especially taken with the first ... the bright colour in contrast to the delicate vellum is just scrumptious! Hugs, Anita :)

  7. What a pretty pair Michele! They're both wonderful, but I think I'm partial to the second one. I like the soft colors and the flow of your design. But then again, that bold bloom and incredible vellum look pretty darn good too!!

  10. Love that gorgeous red poppy, Michele, and what an ingenious way to make a vase. You're always thinking. The other poppies are so unique and you do a great job accenting with those stitched lines.

  13. Oh, Michele, It's really hard to pick one favorite. Both are gorgeous in their own way. Love the vellum vase on the first card! The string and the vellum embossed together with the background panel are fabulous touch on the second card!!! Have a wonderful weekend!

  14. What lovely cards!! The first one looks like you. The gray, the simplicity and a POP of color. I like the second one too, though. I cannot decide now!!!

  15. Both are wonderful, Michele! Love your use of vellum! The first one with the gorgeous color and creative vase is fabulous but I also love the soft colors and the stitching on the second! No way to pick just one!
