CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #18






Just a quick post to get my card uploaded for this fabulous sketch! Nothing fancy other than it took me at least 8 attempts at getting the 'cityscape' drawn neatly with a .01 Copic Multliner SP pen.

I saw this image quite some time ago and loved the clean lines of the design.  I did a quick sketch on a piece of paper and then tucked it away until I saw Karolyn's rockin' cityscape card!  I had a total PING moment and my card design was born.

I used a Good Luck sentiment as the scene reminded me of kids heading off to the big city to start college or a new job. This is a common occurrence when you live in a small town!

If you need clarification on the PING thing, check out my dear friend Bev's blog (Happy Dance) to find out all about it! The sentiment is computer generated.

Clean and simple to the max!

Stampin Up black card stock, CTMH white card and the above mentioned Copic marker....and of course a ruler!

  4. This is unbelievable - I actually gasped when I saw your card. It is striking in its simplicity, but I imagine it I must have taken time to get every line "just so". I find sometimes the simplest ideas are often the most difficult to execute. Wow - this is just really impressive!
