Sadly, this will be my last sketch with the team (although I am sure you will see many, many more CtS cards from me as a "player"!) I have been with CAS(E) this Sketch since the beginning - October 11, 2012. It's been sixty-six sketches and now I need to step away. I made the decision at the beginning of the year to step away from most of my design teams so I can focus on the last year of my college program and begin the hunt for a new career. Leaving this team was the hardest decision that I had to make - but it's probably time for some new blood for them too!! A big thank you to Chrissy and to the rest of my teammates - many of whom have been there from the beginning.
For my card today, I didn't quite stick with the square. I recently picked up a cloud die that I liked for the line along the bottom and then, with the Mama Elephant cloud die, I had to use one of their sweet animals from Up and Away (along with the new coordinating dies!) Besides, the message works for me right now - and this card still stay propped on my desk as I finish up my classes.
- Stamps: Mama Elephant Up and Away, True Friend (sentiment)
- Ink: Memento Black, Copics, Papertrey Ink Summer Sunrise
- Paper Papertrey Ink Sweet Blush, Summer Sunrise
- Accessories: Landscape Trio dies, Up and Away dies, clear sequins
