CAS[E] this Sketch #359 Retro week!

This week is Retro Week and Chrissy is taking us WAY back, to 2012!!


I've given Jackie's sweet Sketch #7 for a spin … and I know there's a little guy out there who won't mind one bit - or should that be bite?!

My ocean was created from an emboss-resist piece
of Bristol paper, and a few inks.  I snipped a few
'waves' for the little strips in the Sketch, and gave
the big toothy guy a Copic coloring... thankfully those little gold fish got away!
 
 

There's only one person out there in blogland who will truly appreciate this card made for her grandson - but I hope it inspires you ALL to play along with CTS359!!

WOW! JAWS!...don't go near the water! Brilliant move to turn the design upside down. Love the tiny fish behind the shark...think they're called remoras...or maybe thats for whales.

Now if the shark in jaws was as happy as this guy I wouldn’t have had to close my eyes so much! Adorable card!

Bobby said...

I'd say your card is fin-tastic too, Michele.

Oh I just LVE this. And how brilliant of you to snip the waves for the strips... Love the fish on the left - fantastic card, as always.

You clever girl you Michele! I love your take on this sketch, it is so clever and executed perfectly. Those waves are amazing, Your shark, well...his toothy smile makes me a little leary, crown or no crown. lol I think he needs to go to the dentist as well. Love your little school of gold fish on the side line. Perfect take on the sketch! Hugs, Brenda

Fun! I'm sure the boy will love it, and so cute that you split apart a couple of the waves and slid him in between a couple too!

Ros Crawford said...

Terrific!! Love the way you have designed this and yet still kept in with the sketch.. What a fun card!

Jeanne said...

Love this! Such terrific and vibrant colors and such a clever little scene. Wow! Thanks for sharing, Michele!

Cat Craig said...

Hes adorable and I am so glad to see you put him to such good use.

Love how you made the cute shark jumping out of the wave, Michele! Adding the fussy-cut waves to the background gives the ocean open space, and I love it design-wise!

Michelle this card is fabulous! So much detail for a CAS card. I love the bright primary colours and wave and fish detail, and as for Jaws - who knew a shark could be so cute?! I just love this card!!
