CAS[E] this Sketch #338 Retro

Looking back at CTS #58 from 2013 was such a treat!  New faces, old friends, and a TON of entries - it's a beautiful gallery and we can't wait to see what you'll do with it today!  Wait until you see who the special guest designer was!  SO cute!


I had such a fun sleepover with Bobby at her cottage on Higgins Lake ... talk a lot, stamp a lot - perfect get-away in my view!  I managed to get another one of my MFT Thankful Friend kids colored, too!

For CTS#338/58...


As much as I love Summer, I'm always ready for Fall!  Hope you can set aside a bit of time to play cards with us this week!  OH, don't forget to share your original CTS#58 if you played - so fun!

Sounds like you had a fun sleep over Michele? What a wonderful little scene you've made and a great interpretation of the retro sketch. Adorable little child and the burst behind the die cut sentiment is fabulous x.

So many fabulous little details in this card from the gorgeous sunshine to the embossing to sweet little leaves......and I do love that purple sweater!

Autumn! Already! I'm still getting my Summer stuff done. Time marches on...happily with this sweet, gorgeously colored card.

Barb Ghig said...

Awww...she's a cutie, Michele! And your Copic coloring is fabulous! I love your stenciling and how you created the ombre effect on the alphas...such a sweet autumn card!

Jeanne said...

So sweet! Lucky girl only has a few leaves to rake. ;) She is colored so nicely. I really like the candy corn-esque ombre on the word fall and the tree stump image. Oh and I just noticed your fabulous die that adds a perfect amount of texture. You packed so much fun into this card. So happy to hear you had such a grand time with your friend, too. Happy weekend! Hugs!

I love this sweet little raker, Michele, and that watery tree circle! Awesome card! Glad you and Bobby had that special time together.

Bobby said...

How on earth did you cut her out so perfectly? Should I enter mine in the challenge? LOL

Marcia Hill said...

I just LOVE this image and can't believe I only stamped one of her...you may need to bring her back next month! Cute, CUTE card my friend!! :0)

I'm not much of a one for colouring cutesy kids, but this one is not TOO cutesy for me and I love how she's wearing good, practical clothes and you've given her gorgeous autumn colours to wear! Really like those leaves too and the embossed detail :)

Lisa Elton said...

How sweet is she! This is cute Michele and a wonderful take on the sketch!

Such lovely detailing, Michele ... the embossed grounding, the fabulous colouring, the glow of the background and that gorgeous ombré sentiment ... yum! Your stay at the Lake with Bobby sounds inspiring! Hugs, Anita :)
