CAS(E) this Sketch #137 and CAS-ology - Plaid






The gate is closing shortly over at CAS(E) This Sketch #137 so no time to chat tonight! And, a new challenge has just been posted at CAS-ology where "Plaid" is the flavor of the week!

 ........

 I'm back...with a tweaked version of the last night's card. I white embossed "dad" (previously black) which definitely makes the "designer label" stand out more.

 The plaid stamp is an old Hero Arts stamp called Flannel Shirt (or something flannel). What I like about this stamp is how the fines lines in the image are sharp and the thicker lines are somewhat 'fuzzy'....just like a real flannel shirt!

 My apologies ladies if I have stretched the CAS-E sketch a bit too far.  I used the "dad" designer label as the little flourish and the angled shirt pocket as the tilted portion of the design.

 BTW - the shirt pocket is designed to hold a gift card! 

 Thanks so much for taking time to stop by! Happy crafting!

    This is a fantastic design. So bold and masculine, and how fun that the pocket really is a pocket. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.

    Geri I love how you turned the sketch upside-down and your plaid pocket for Dad! Thank you for sharing with us at CASology this week!

    I personally think you rocked the sketch, Geri! Love this card!! The red "designer label" is the perfect pop of color.

    I don't think you stretched the sketch too far, Geri! In fact, you will probably come in with your second card and have a second winner!! I think it is fantastic! And plaid and Dad definitely go together!! Hugs, Darnell

    Catching up on my 'tardies', my friend! How cool is this pocket that truly is a pocket card! Plaid perfection and sketch swanky-danky! Winner, winner! As for seeing Fabian Cancellera - *if* he's racing I will certainly pass along the hello...after I stop drooling...I mean, gazing and admiring...I mean, swooning. Hope Andy won't be anywhere nearby when *that* happens. (snort!)
    Hugs~c
