CAS[E] this Sketch #388

My sweet and talented friend Michelle Leone [a.k.a. 2 Ls] has created our Sketch this week!  It's a beauty … take a look:


Now.  I haven't seen 2 Ls' card... but something tells me we might be using similar supplies?  We'll see, won't we!? Here's a look at how my card came together:

After stamping and Copic coloring this sweet branch from Keep Going [Pinkfresh Studios]
I snipped it in two!

The two pieces were arranged in the little 'pocket' created with
this fun die - also from Pinkfresh Studios: Noteworthy Frames


I soon realized it was missing something... enter Pinkfresh again!  This time,
with their  Dainty Blossoms dies for these sweet little 'filler' stems cut from Neenah 110# cardstock that totally completed my arrangement!
By now, you may have noticed my newest Spellbinder love:
Candlewick Ovals … and you know I couldn't stop with one shape, so watch for more!
Looking at it here, it would have been just as perfect without that oval...
what do you think?  Will I be making Second Helpings this week?

I hope you've found something here today that will encourage you to play cards with us this week at CAS[E] this Sketch #388!   Thanks so very much for stopping by!

I love the way that label makes a little pocket to tuck your beautifully shaded flowers into! Love that you gave the sentiment a little ombre action too! Vicky x

This card is just stunning Michele! I love that background oval die, it is so elegant and just plan gorgeous. I also love how the die of the sentiment makes a pocket of sorts, very cool die. I just love the flowers and how you colored them, and the added "leaves" in white just take it up a notch! Yep, I'm in love with this one my friend! Hugs, Brenda

This is sooo pretty, Michele! I love it! The Copic colored flowers are so beautiful with the dainty white die-cut stems & leaves. The way you tucked them under the sentiment label is so clever and the oval frame finishes the card with sweetness :-)
