I really liked the CAS(E) This Sketch #171 so I squeezed in a simple card to play along before the deadline (times two because I need cards to send out to my downline members).
The background block on the sketch inspired me to stamp with a clear block. I inked my block with Crumb Cake ink and kissed the Brushstrokes background stamp before stamping the block on the card base to get a striped pattern on it. The wonderful sentiment was stamped with the Happy Birthday, Everyone hostess stamp set. The flower and the flourish both come from the Everything Eleanor stamp set. I rounded the card bottom corners using the Project Life Corner Punch.
The colour combo was inspired by the Color Throwdown #392.
