CAS[E] this Sketch #323 Retro - #142

Do you enjoy seeing these Retro Sketches as much as I do?  It's so fun to have a look back - and this one goes WAY back to #142 from September 24, 2015!  See if you remember this one... better yet follow the link to see if you played along! 

 
I cannot imagine why, but the original card I made is my favorite of all time … yes, I do mean that. 
 
Today I've recreated the style of it using another favorite thing - an embossing folder!
 
 
It's hard to see it, but this folder from Spellbinder's actually does a bit of die-cutting at the same time!  Each bloom has the sweetest little die-cut-detail.  I've added a smattering of Martha's butterflies, and a sweet hello, found in my snippets bowl. 
 
Okay.  Let's go see if YOU played at CTS#142, then we hope you'll play again this week - we love it when you do!

    Love your stunning card from 2015 and loving this one too....The embossing folder looks so pretty and wonderfully textured. The water colour effect from the sentiment and mini butterflies compliments your card fabulously x. Such a beautiful card x

    That card from 2015 is REALLY cool. Thanks for sharing the link. This card is fabulous, too. Butterflies! I like the embossed die cut detail. It's so pretty. The little pop of color looks amazing. Thanks for sharing, Michele! Happy weekend!

    Oh I played but it's not worth mentioning. This one is in the same color palette as the earlier version so I guess you really did like it, Michele. And I don't blame you. Both are gorgeous.
