CAS(E) this Sketch #135 with Paper Trey Ink

Oh what a beautiful day it is outside!! The sun is shining, no humidity and a cool breeze. It is what I would refer to as a "perfect" day. Nice enough to have walked to the farmers market with a friend and get some yummy goodies from the garden.

It has been such a nice week too. Getting together with friends, sticking to my gym routine and getting time in my craft room. Win-win all around!!

Today I am playing with the CAS(E) this Sketch! blog. I used the "mess on my desk" to complete another card for my ongoing card set that I have been making. I only have one more card to finish, for a total of eight and it will be ready to go.

Here is my card:


I was so excited because I received my Paper Trey Ink order this week and my "Bowl of Sunshine" set of stamps and dies came. I had to use the oranges for this card.

Here is the sketch that inspired this card:


As you can see, I did change it up a bit.


My border is a bit larger then the sketch and the sentiment is on top of the border rather then on the bottom. I originally was going to only have two rows of triangles but it looked funny with the circle. I decided to go with four rows. I still have quite a bit of quilt triangles left and could probably make a couple more cards out of it.


To continue with my "quilted" theme, I used my Die-namics to die cut the stitches onto my yellow background and a Paper Trey Ink circle die to die cut the circle. I could have actually stitched around the circle but was too lazy to do so. I also thought it might look funny because I had to cut off part of it to fit my design.

This was so fun and easy to put together. I ADORE this sketch!!

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope the rest of your weekend is beautiful!!

    I really like the autumn color palette Nora!! The theme is consistent throughout the card and the sentiment is perfect with that yummy fruit.. also your accuracy with the border is amazing! everything is spaced so nicely! In other words, I adore this card Nora.. Thanks so much for sharing...

    What a beautiful, sunny card Nora and I love the quilted effect. Do I spot my favorite linen impression plate giving texture to the the stitched rectangle?
    Glad you are making the most of summer.

    I can see why this set would be entitled a bowl of sunshine! That's exactly what this card screams - sunny, fresh, brilliant!
