CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #177



Hello again,
This week's sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch was created by Leigh Penner, and I just had to play along! Here is my card:



I started by blending Sea Glass ink over the top portion on the card, then used pre-stamped images from the PTI Make it Market Kit (Sunshine & Rainbows). Since the birds in this kit only face left, I had to flip the sketch. I tried to do the mirror stamping technique with the kit stamp, but it didn't turn out very well...So, I die cut the elements, stamped the greeting, and added a few clear sequins for sparkle. 
Thanks so much for stopping by ~

  6. Hi, Barb! I love this sweet little bird and your beautiful CAS design. Thanks for stopping by my blog to say "Hi" and "Bye"! Regarding your question: I have a Tamron SP 60 mm F/2 MACRO 1:1 lens which I use to shoot most of my cards. I shoot them outside for the natural light and sit them on a wall. I don't use any special setting, but try to get the card in very sharp focus. Then the background, which is usually the garden/wine hut in my yard and the surrounding bushes, have a Bokeh effect. My normal background is about 50 behind my card. I hope this helps! :)

  16. This is too adorable. Love it and especially your sentiment. I must admit that I looked away any time that PTI kit was used, so this is the first time I've actually seen it in action, and I love it. Not looking seems to be the only way I can avoid shopping these days.
