                                               sketch challenge!

For my card today, I used one of my FAVORITE Clearly Sentimental sets, Clearly Sentimental About Art.

I used the MME Playdate paper pad, which I paired with Fossil, Gumdrop Green, Wild Cherry, and Sweet Tooth cardstock. I cut my Medium Fancy Flourish out with Wild Cherry cardstock, and used some Michael's brads as embellishments. My buttons are Gumdrop Green, Wild Cherry, and Sweet Tooth, and all have hemp cord tied in them. They were placed on the soon to be released Button Border Die-namics.

Well, you all know me, so you know I don't do CAS..but this set and matching Easter Elements dies just begged to be on a CAS card, lol!

My flowers were also cut out with the Easter Elements Die-namics using Cotton Candy, Lemon Drop, Sno Cone, and Jellybean Green cardstock, then added some Michael's brads to them. The grass was cut out with Jellybean Green cardstock, and the Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics.

C4C170-CASEing Barbara!!

This week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge is a fun one: to CASE our fellow teammate, Barbara Anders!! Bar and I work on MFT together, and she is MEGA talented. I LOVE her work, so it took me FOREVER to decide what card I wanted to CASE. 

I settled for the card she created for our past challenge number 167. She used the new You Make My Day set, so I decided to change it up a bit and use the SUPER fun Lovey Dovey sentiments set. I stamped it on Sweet Tooth cardstock, then cut it out with my Traditional Tags Stax Die-namics. The heart was colored in with Copics, and I used some Charcoal Twine to tie through it. My cardstock colors are Wild Cherry, Black Licorice, and Sweet Tooth, which I paired with some Echo Park Yours Truly paper. The ribbon I used is Wild Cherry Grosgrain, and I also used some brads from Michael's. For my other embellishments, I used the Medium Fancy Flourish Die-namics in Black Licorice, and the new Mini Heirloom Rose Die-namics in Wild Cherry, both from MFT.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:
