CAS(E) this Sketch #156

I joined in the CAS(E) this sketch challenge this week. I thought the sketch had a nice spring feel to it, which is what I was feeling like doing today. Our winter hasn't been that bad this year, so I hate to complain, but by this time of the year, I'm kinda done with it. Sadly, we probably have 2 more months to go. Well, I can always dream of spring until it comes.

Here is my take on the sketch:

I used the new Wink of Stella glitter brush in clear on the flower. It did not show up very well in the photo, but I really liked how it adds a subtle sparkle.

Freshly Made Sketches #196- a sketch by Cindy

I just got back from Stampin' Up's Inspire, Create, Share 2015 a couple hours ago. I am full of inspiration and cannot wait until my product premiere pre-order (say that 3 times fast) arrives! I am taking my oldest daughter to the One Direction concert in a few hours, so I had to rush to get a card done for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

Here is my take on the sketch:

Blendabilities would have worked so well on this flower, but I tried to make do with my blender pen. I also wish I had some of the Venetian Crochet trim. I could've sworn I had some, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I used some Very Vanilla seam binding ribbon and just folded it to fake a ruffle.
