I seized the opportunity to use Seize the Sketch #5 for a clean and simple card since I need so much practice with this style.
The stamps are all from Flourishes’ Birthday Pennants (retired?). I layered the one stamped panel on a card embossed with my new Cuttlebug Wicker Weave folder. Very clean and done in a jiffy!
Here’s the sketch where you can see I replaced one of the fishtail flags with a cascade of roses:
This card will go into my cards-for-sale basket at work, and with a simple “Congrats” stamped inside it can be used for a variety of occasions.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Stamps: Flourishes’ Birthday Pennants (retired?) Paper: Flourishes’ Classic White Ink: Stampin’ Up! colors Regal Rose; Rose Red; Bravo Burgundy; Elegant Eggplant; Old Olive; Palette Noir for sentiment Accessories: Cuttlebug Wicker Weave embossing folder, Scotch brand foam mounting tape to pop up rose on flag
Beautiful Leslie! Doesn't seem like you need practice after seeing your sensational CAS card!

I love it. The flower images are so beautiful and love how you popped up the one at the time. I, too, have trouble with those CAS cards. I'm going to check out this sketch group. TFS.

I love this one! Classy is the first word that comes to my mind when I look at it. I had to laugh. I just ran that same embossing folder thru my machine last nite. We are so much alike! Love the popped up flower too!

I do like the flowers you've stamped instead of the banner. Lovely clean and simple card. I'm not much chop at them I'm afraid. I can't help adding and adding. lol

Beautiful card. I agree with the others, you don't need any practice on CAS cards. Love how you replaced the banner with the cascade of roses.
