CAS(E) this Sketch: Sketch #100!

I had the absolute thrill and honor of being part of the first days of CAS(E) this Sketch and they are now at sketch #100!!!  It's time to celebrate their success! As part of the party, all of the early contributors to the challenge are playing along with this sketch and it's a fun one!

I have to admit to having a lot of false starts with this sketch. I can't tell you how much paper I wasted cutting stripes.  I finally solved my dilemma by moving the center of the stripes off center.  Suddenly I liked what I was doing.  In general, I am a rigid sketch follower - that probably implies a lack of creativity, but I find working with the sketch exactly as it is to be the true challenge.  In this case, I did modify the sketch - it was either that or not get it to the CtS organizers in time to be part of the celebration!


I "frosted" the white stripes and the trees with glitter, but I thought it was still missing something so I added a sprinkling of sequins (and I will not tell you how long it took me to "sprinkle" the sequins in a random(?) way!!

I hope that everybody plays along with this sketch to show CAS(E) this Sketch how much we love them! Their gallery of past sketches is bookmarked on my PC and is an icon on my iPad - I use them so much more than just the weekly challenge.  Have fun with the angles on this one - I look forward to learning from each of you how to center these and make it look good!!

A caveat on supplies: the very first roll of Hemptique White Cord that I 

purchased was truly white.  Since then I have purchased rolls from multiple 

sources trying to find "white" but"white" appears to now be a dull off-white.  

The above card uses my stash of true white.
