CAS[E] this Sketch #369 Retro Week!

I love Retro Sketch week!  This month we're going back to September of 2015 for CTS#140  I found a simple way to make this simple Sketch work for me back then.  This time around I saw it with new eyes...


I stretched my creative muscles - and that Clever Sausage, again!  It's pretty easy to stretch the stamping, it's the die-cutting that gets a little tricky!  Just cut one end, then the other and clip through the middle with scissors!  Add a sweater and no one is the wiser if it didn't work out perfectly!

 
Prisma color pencils for coloring today! 
Tell me what skate-boarding-wiener-dog wouldn't take pleasure in plunging right through a puddle?
OH!  in case you're wondering what he's dragging along behind him:
 
I MAY have tweaked the sentiment a bit!  lol
 

We hope YOU will take the plunge and join us this week for CTS#369!  let's head over to see what my fabulous teammates have made, shall we?  Thanks for stopping by today... hope you're staying in, and feeling great!

    I totally see the sketch in your design, Michele, and it's supercalifragilistic. Don't use that word often but it's called for in this case of superior design and humor.

    Adorable card, who doesn't love a wiener (dog)! Not surprising you saw the challenge with new eyes, I think that's your specialty :o)

    This is just fabulous... my set (that you made me buy) just arrived the other day. I haven't broken it out yet, but I feel skateboarding dog coming on for later today... The balloon part is genius!

    A skateboarding dog - what's not to love?! Great reveal of the balloon on the inside - I was wondering about the line. Very clever!
