{12.6.2012} CAS(E) this Sketch!

Let’s CAS(E) this SKETCH!

CTS is a challenge blog to inspire you to create a clean and simple card based on a fun sketch.
Here is my inspiration for this week’s challenge and brand new sketch.

https://i2.wp.com/3.bp.blogspot.com/-WaUzIaaefdY/UF7zfZfso7I/AAAAAAAAB8k/fMy952YTWz8/s1600/cts8.jpg?resize=227%2C321

This sketch is WIDE open to interpretation.  I love the idea of ‘white space’ in the center surrounded by something.  In my case, the something are aspens cut out with my Cameo.  Now, you could leave the sentiment out or go ahead and place it where you feel it looks best.  Mine fit perfectly towards the bottom between the trees.

Make sure you hop over to the CTS blog for challenge rules and a blog full of inspiration.
The design team girls are so talented and have the most fabulous cards to share.
