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!!

  2. 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.

  13. 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

  18. 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!
