CAS[E] this Sketch #159

My sweet friend and team-mate, Michelle Williams has opened the flood-gates of my imagination with her sketch this week ... fair warning:  there are a few cards from me this week =]

Here is Michelle's sketch:

 
I'm seeing plaid - a favorite for sure.  But I wanted to play with another favorite:
hounds-tooth!
 

MFT Hounds tooth coverplate; W&W Big, Bold, friends cutaways, and stamps.
SSS Fog, and Kona cardstock; Delicata silver ink.

Now Plaid:

Don't adjust your glasses!  I've done a little ghost stamping on the stamped portion of the sentiment!
PTI Holiday plaid; SSS die cut; Hero Arts caring thoughts.

Finally, for CTS #159 and Michelle, because she can always make me...

MFT Background Roses; W&W Big, Bold, & Friends cutaways - adjusted.

I think I was in a grey mode today ... that's a good thing for me... a favorite color, indeed.
 
What 'pattern' will your CTS card be this week?  I look forward to seeing it!

  1. First to comment; a 'first' for me! Your trio of sketch interpretations are ah-mazing and awe-inspiring! I covet your houndstooth cover plate; adore your plaid; am enamoured with your roses (which I have! Yahoooo!). Love all of these, my designer extraordinaire friend!

  4. Plaid, houndstooth, and Roses All Over--fantastic takes on the sketch! I almost went with some plaid paper slapped on a card, and the roses were on my mind. GMTA!

  14. OMG!! You made ME smile! I had plaid on my mind when I created the sketch, but then when I was halfway through and had stripes, I liked this too! I should have done what you did and kept on creating! Your cards are beautiful, and I'm so happy to have you as my friend. :-)

  17. FABulous cards...ALL of them! I am a bit partial to the houndstooth one....those sentiments and diecut with that sweet little heart embellie just send me over the top!

  18. I knew you loved houndstooth but didn't know you had a coverplate. You fooled me with the plaid because I thought you stamped it, and I love that you let me use your roses stamp. That also means I can't use any of those for my card. lol But it's okay because yours are all fabulous and I might have something else up my sleeve.
