CAS[E] this RETRO Sketch #29/265

It's RETRO week at CTS #266... this one goes way back to CTS #29, before I was even making cards, I think!


I had a fun set out on my craft desk used for another card, so I thought 'why not?'  Here's how I rolled it into our group's gallery, too ...

Inside:
'Think 'moss doesn't grow on a rolling stone' and get up and move it!  Happy moving day!'

Using water color, I attempted to give those wheels some downhill motion!  How did I do?  So different from my usual style, but it's fun to break out of our normal mold sometimes!

I just know you will have a gazillion ideas for this Sketch... can't wait to see them in our CTS gallery!

As of this posting, I'll be rolling, and rocking to some New Orleans jazz ... wish you were with me!

Supplies:
EH Wonky Backdrops - white heat embossed onto TH water color card stock.
EH Wasabi - for that fun sentiment
Distress Inks:  Chipped Sapphire, Lucky Clover, Broken China, and Hickory Smoke

    Maybe you are rolling down in the river in one of the paddle boats?! That would be so cool! And speaking of cool, that is what the card is! I adore the colors you chose. SO fresh and pretty. Great sentiment, too. Awesome!

    I didn't enter the earlier challenge either, Michele, and I'm stumped with this one but I know something will pop into my head soon. I love all the watercoloring, splatters and movement.

    So much fun, Michele ... what a great sense of movement as those wheels 'trundle' over the ground ... and a gorgeous, splattery, watercolour-y colour palette ... brilliant! Hugs, Anita :)
