Playing along with CAS(E) this sketch is getting to be a habit but I am not just playing along this week; I am privileged to be the guest designer for sketch #70
Seems like this sketch was made just for me. You won’t have to look far through my blog before you spy one or two layouts along the same lines. I pulled out an old favourite from my stamp collection and paired it with my new favourite technique, flicking watercolour paint! I stamped the Queen Anne’s Lace first in a mix of Memento Cottage Ivy ink and Peeled Paint Distress stain. Next I positioned post-it notes as masks to create the central square and flicked colour from three different watercolour pencils with a water brush. Finally I removed the masks and added the sentiment.
Make sure you visit the CAS(E) this sketch challenge blog to see all the wonderful creations from the design team.
Supplies:
Stamps: Queen Anne’s Lace, Wishes (PB)
Inks: Memento Cottage Ivy (Tsukineko) & Peeled Paint Distress Stain (Ranger)
Pencils: Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils (Faber-Castell)
Cardstock: Fabriano Hot pressed 25%cotton watercolour paper
My goodness, this is gorgeous! Looking thru my “I want to CASE this” Pinned board, I realize a huge percent of the cards in there are YOURS! Keep them coming! 😉
So exciting to have you guesting with us, Heather! You create such beautiful CAS cards and this one is no exception. It’s genius!
Love the look Heather…I am going to give this a try as I have the stamp. TFS!!!

I love this. It is so simply and yet so complex. The colors are terrific and put my in the mood to try something different.
I love all of your cards, but this one I REALLY love! 🙂 Thanks for sharing your beautiful works of art.
What a wonderful work of art, Heather! Thank you for all your inspiring creations!
Heather – this just took my breath away when I opened up your blog. I love visiting your blog. So much inspiration and such beautiful cards. Is the Queen Anne’s Lace one stamp? Are the “weeds” on the bottom a separate stamp? And, it looks like the Queen Anne’s Lace is no longer available at PB? Thanks.
Hi Julie,
The Queen Anne’s Lace is one stamp but it is an “oldie” so it might not be available any more. The “weeds” on the bottom are not a stamp at all; I created them by flicking a lot of colour from watercolour pencils onto the panel.
I love this take on the sketch and it inspired me to have a go!
Congratulations on guest designing for CAS(E) This Sketch! Your card is fabulous! Beautiful take on the sketch!
Oh, yes, the whole clean and simple concept of these sketches is perfect for you. Love this in all its beautiful watercolory green!
