Hello peeps! Today's card uses the CAS(E) this Sketch sketch:
What a cute little retro sketch! I wanted to make a masculine thank you card for a friend who made me a cornhole game! Do you know what cornhole is? You can read about it here. It's basically a big bean bag game! Everywhere I go, people play and I can't participate because I can never get any practice in, so I finally got someone to make me one! (You know how unsports-minded I am...but I CAN play cornhole!) Now I just need to finish it--paint or stain--and make my beanbags and I'm good to go! Cards in Envy also has a Feels Like Fall challenge, so here's my take on both:
Normally I would not use Early Espresso as a card base, but after trying several colors, it seemed to be the best to bring out my pretty leaves from Rooted in Nature. After stamping, I diecut them with the Nature's Roots framelits. I also heat-embossed a sentiment from the retired Watercolor Wishes:
The lineup of trees from Winter Woods worked well for the vertical images on the smaller panel; I stamped these in Soft Suede and repositioned them on the Crumb Cake panel and stamped again without reinking. I love the depth it created!
I placed a piece of Whisper White cardstock on the inside on which to write my note, and added some more leaves to embellish it:
Thanks for popping in today!
Cassidy sent me this picture the other day while she and Mommy were taking a walk; I guess she liked the clouds at sunset!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteYour card is fantabulous! The trees in their perfect setting look so real. It's almost like I'm looking at a sepia photograph. Beautiful work and Cassidy captured a beautiful work of art by our Great God!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on this sketch, LeAnne! I love the contrast of the dark card base and colored leaves!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! This card is every bit of Fall and beautiful wrapped into one! Love the colors and your leaves are spectacular! And your trees from the Winter Woods just make this card complete! Love, love, love! Great card, LeAnne! :)
