CAS[E] this Sketch #383


I sent virtual squeezes to my IB team earlier … but I could kiss Donna Mikasa for giving me the opportunity to talk about Comet Neowise today!  But first, my card, using Donna's awesome Sketch #383...

Inside:  Even though we're a world apart, it's nice to think we're looking up
at the same sky, and seeing the same stars!
 
Stargazing, meteor showers, and keeping up with the latest satellites launched by Elon Musk [Starlink]  have kept us looking up through this lockdown.  I've shared a few of Tom's photos of comet Neowise on my Instagram pages -
you can see them here and if you'd like to check out when YOU TOO will be able to see it, check here.
 

Of course its tail will be much more outstanding than my Wink of Stella attempt on this nearly-glossy Altenew designer paper... would you believe I bought their Sweet Moments 6x6 collection just for this paper?

Now I must go see what inspired Donna to create this Sketch... join me, won't you?  and join us in the CTS#383 gallery, too!

EBE Up in the Air by Brandi stamps, and dies
MFT Blueprint #18 provided the stars - sadly no longer available

Of course, I believe you'd purchase a whole pad for one pattern...who wouldn't? It is the perfect way to celebrate Neowise plud you had the perfect dies to show it off. BTW, loooove your shimmery trail.

What a fun card and some amazing papers!!! I have been known to purchase a pad for just one pattern as well....usually because I saw it on someone's blog and had to have it!!! I love your stargazers...and your stars, too!

Awesome! Your card and the photos you've shared. Thanks to you, Tom and a very talented friend in Idaho(via FB), I actually got to see pictures of Neowise, even though we never could spot it on our own. Your card captures the wonder and awe beautifully!

Awesome card and picture of the comet, Michele! We have so many trees in our yard and neighborhood that we missed this one. You found the perfect paper and image to illustrate it! Thanks for sharing the photo!

Fantastic take on the sketch, Michele! I can see why you bought the Altenew's DP collection just for that paper. It's very unique and interesting.
The sentiment inside the card is so sweet. Thank you for sharing the wonderful pics your Luke Skywatcher took! ;-P

What a fabulous card to portray your love of stargazing Michele and a clever take on the sketch x. Yes I can also believe you would buy the whole pad for the one paper x.
