CAS(E) this Sketch - Challenge #98



I planned to finish my Christmas cards for my charities but somewhere during the course of the day I began to re-organize, something I like to do. While going through plastic SU! stamp boxes full of images I found some previously colored pieces that I could make into cards. I made a sympathy card and a thank you card and this image, which I love, I decided to make for CTS.

The focal image was made using SU! markers on glossy paper. Once I scribbled ink on the stamp I  spritzed with water and then applied to the paper. Then the fun begins and using a blender pen and the markers I had to work at finishing the image because it was not a clear image. But that is the fun part like finishing a puzzle. I embossed the blue paper and cut the lake image and the left side covered up a previously stamped sentiment. A couple of weeks ago I made two sympathy cards and I could not get a good image and 2 1/2 sheets of paper later I decided it was not me but the stamp - I changed the sentiment. I added some gems to the card and stamped the sentiment. One more image from my UFO stash finished.

Stamps - Stampscapes "Lakeside Cove", Avery Elle (sentiment)
SU! Markers and blender pen
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug (name unknown)
Paper - SU! glossy, Soft Sky
Other - mounting tape, Gemstones (Paper Studio)
