CAS(E) This Sketch

Hi there...

I don't think I've ever entered a challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch
But when I visited my friend Michele's blog, I was taken by this sketch...


So I challenged myself to come up with something using my pencil and paints (along with a few dies a stamp and embossing powder)

Here's what I came up with


 I sketched some flowers which I painted with Prima Confection and cut the shape with a border die. The butterfly and the smaller shape (also cut with the same border die) were both painted with Gansai Tambi gold paint. It's still pretty dull here but if I turn my card to the light...

You can see how shiny it is. I guess I could have cut the main shape a little better  but hey ho... 

I hope you are enjoying your weekend... If only the sun would shine and the wind would drop I could get out into the garden for a while - I live in hope

Take care and thanks so much for your visit

    Oh so beautiful Ros! Your painted flowers are so pretty as is the completed card.
    Your interpretation of this sketch is spot on! Love the bit of gold paint as well.
    We had some much needed rain through the night, literally downpours, but a bit cooler today and breezy! If I could send the sun your way I would. Take care my friend, hugs,

    A beautifully designed card and you certainly nailed the sketch. (this card would fit our challenge at Double D too (stitches). Very windy here which has the lake roaring it's head off the last 2 days, wish it would calm down as my son is here and had planned on kayaking, but too rough for that, it started the day he came and he leaves today darn it!! But good and fun news is he got engaged while he was here on the lake!!

    I'm impressed, Ros! I don't think you could possibly have cut that shape any better! The flowers are such a perfect fit and so pretty! The butterfly looks quite happy with all his rich golden glow!

    I thought those beautiful flowers were stamps until I read your post! They are gorgeous and so whimsical which fits the style of the sketch perfectly! So glad to see the the shine in the light, that's never too easy to capture.
