CAS(E) this Sketch #3

 
Hello, friends!
 
I'm so excited to be playing along with a new challenge site called CAS(E) this Sketch.  The sketch for this time around looks like this:

 
 
I wanted to make a fall card using THIS awesome wreath set from Papertrey Ink.  I paired it with a sentiment from Hero Arts, some patterned paper, chocolate brown dye ink, Spiced Marmalade distress ink, and an argyle embossing folder. 
 

 
 
Some gold Stickles added some sparkle to the wreath.
 
 
 
So, we are preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Sandy here in New Jersey.  After morning soccer, we spent the afternoon bringing in the patio furniture and taking down Halloween decorations that could potentially blow away.  Let's hope it's not as bad as the news makes it out to be.  I'll keep you posted!
 
Thanks for stopping by!
Judy

    Beautiful card, Judy!! I've been trying to come up with a card for this challenge. Though, for some reason, I'm having a hard time with it. I love what you did and the colors are wonderful! Good luck with the challenge!

    I'm glad you received your goodies! Have fun with them! :)

    Your card is just beautiful! I love the wreath, the embossing and your take on the sketch! I'm just N of Philly, so we're probably going to get hit almost as hard as NJ with this approaching storm. Hopefully it will not intensify before it hooks in toward the coast! Fingers crossed!!!

    Love the argyle embossing folder - what a great way to showcase that beautiful wreath! That sentiment fits perfectly across the bottom of the panel!

    Let's hope that "Sandy" makes an about face and heads back to where she came from!

    The embossing almost makes it look like you weaved the background. It really makes it interesting to look at. I love the color combo as well. Thanks for joining us at CAS(E) this Sketch!
