Hello Again!!
First of all, can I tell you how much I enjoyed drooling all over the entries for last week’s challenge?!! You all knocked that one right outta the proverbial park! I hope that you’ll be equally inspired by this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge. Lisa designed this baby, and I feel like it has so many possibilities, don’t you?!
Since next week is Thanksgiving, I felt like a “thankful” card was in order. As is almost always the case with me, I flipped and and rearranged the sketch to suit my purposes, trying desperately to keep the design as CLEAN & SIMPLE as possible (those are the rules, after all!) I stamped the flourish using watermark ink onto kraft cardstock. I then die cut the leaves out of four different colors of cardstock, wrinkled and bent them a bit (to give them that “wind blown” look) and adhered them with dimensional tape. The sentiment was stamped in brown pigment ink, and everything is “texturized” with a linen impression plate.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’m still in Las Vegas celebrating our 32nd Wedding Anniversary (I know, can you believe my husband has put up with me for 32 years?! LOL) and my sister’s 50th birthday (even though she turned 50 last year – ha!) Somehow I agreed to go on the zipline on Fremont Street with her – pray for me! LOL

Oh, love this card-the font on that sentiment is awesome. Hope you are having a blast in Vegas.
What a beautiful card! Love the swirl and the colorful leaves!
Gorgeous Karolyn! Love the subtlness (total made up word) of the flourish in the bg and how those leaves really pop!
(I don't know if it was just my computer but I had to click on your image to be able to see it)

I love your swirly leaves - and your sentiment is a perfect choice as it has that same swirly look!
Beautiful! Clever, clever, clever idea to use a swirl stamp for the wind...I can almost feel the the wind on my face!
...so if your going to zip line then do the roller coaster at New York New York! Double dog dare you to give it a try AND don't close your eyes!
This is one of my all time favorite cards that you've made so far!!! The swirls give the card movement like the leaves are blowing in the wind. LOVE it!
