Update: this card was a Winner at CASE Study ...thanks Chupa and the entire team of CASE Study
CAS- ual Fridays challenge blog was where I started my journey with challenges way back in Feb . I loved the Clean and Simple style of cardmaking and attempted almost every week to come up with something unique and simple.
In July when I won their challenge , my second time around, I got a chance to guest design for them for the month of August. I am so honored and excited, thanks to Michele and the CFC team for this wonderful opportunity!
CFC#64- On Cloud 9
This week the theme will be things you'd see in the sky, examples-clouds, airplanes, birds, kites, etc.
I came up with this mixed media card with a background watercolor wash which has slowly become my signature style I guess!!
Sharing with Case Study who turns 2 this month !
the challenge is to show our signature style and I guess this card would be an ideal "sanketi" card!
white background and watercolors with a bit of dimension...perfect Sanketi recipe !

ReplyDeleteHey Sanketi...not knowing how else to get in touch with you, so thankful that you have to approve your comments. I was totally enamored with your wedding card last month and was wondering what company/name the sentiment stamp you used was from...I have 2 weddings next month and would love to see if I could find it somewhere before then. I keep checking that post, but haven't seen you mention it. Would so appreciate your help....who knows, I may not be able to find it, but sure would love to try:):)!! Thanks, Sanketi!!! It's the Two Shall Become One sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked that card..I did update the post with the info and also came up with a follow up post...
