CAS[E] this Sketch #354

Welcome to Sketch #354 - another gorgeous number from Donna Mikasa! 


Thanks is such a simple word, one that often holds more that the simplicity of the phrase.  I tried to convey 'more' with this simple card...

 
Using my favorite grey, and a seldom used MFT Fuse Green [looks gold to me!] I allowed the texture of dry embossing, and this wonderful Altenew Dotted Swirls to do all my work.
 
Hope you like it!  Donna's sure to show us how to do it properly... let's go see, shall we?  Then, I hope to see YOU in the CTS354 gallery!

That Fuse Green is such a chameleon! Either way, the embossing from the cover plate is just delish, and so is your card!

Yes the texture and the swirls sure do all the hard work on your fabulous card. I love the grey with the pop of gold (gold to me too x).

HI Michelle,

Your card is so soft with the grey and pale, it works so nicely together. You do simple so well.
