CAS(E) this Sketch #229 - sweet friend

I'm so thrilled and honored to be guest designing this week over at CAS(E) this Sketch! Thank you so much, Chrissy, for the invitation!

This is Hannelie's thought-provoking sketch (#229).



Here's my take on it:


I loved the interlocking blocks behind the main image on Hannelie's sketch, and I wanted to showcase them as much as possible. So I chose to use some outline leaf dies instead of solid leaves.


I watercolored the paper with distress ink, dry embossed it, and cut it into block pieces.
The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine, and heat-embossed with clear embossing powder.


I hope you'll enjoy making your card as much as I did making mine using the sketch! Please check out the design team's creations for more inspiration!


Stamp: Thoughtful Banners (Stampin' Up!)
Paper: Watercolor paper (140 lb - Strathmore), Whisper White, Basic Black (Stampin' Up!)
Ink: Distress Ink (Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch - Ranger), VersaFine (Onyx Black - Tsukineko)
Accessories: Layering Leaves Dies (Concord & 9th), Embossing Folder (Woven - We R Memory Keepers), Embossing Powder (Ultra Fine Clear - Hero Arts), Sequin (Orchid 4 mm - Pretty Pink Poss), Glossy Accents (Ranger)

Many thanks for visiting my blog today!

    If a card could be a Haiku poem this would be that card! Lovely texture, soft color, and placement of elements.

      Thank you so much for your sweet comments, TLady! I love 3D embossing folders, especially this woven one. It gives cardstock a great texture, doesn't it? Hideko :-)

    Perfection!! Hideko, there only a few crafting supplies I love more than embossing folders - your use of that basket weave is so perfect here on Hannelie's panels. Gorgeous colors, and the C&9th leaves are fabulous, too! Thanks for playing cards with us at CTS!
