Color Dare #95--Two Greens and an Orange and Blog Candy Alert

I must admit that I struggled with this color combination and that is why there is so little Lagoon on this card.

Hang in There for CAS(E) This Sketch # 42

Here is a really quick card that I made using a digital image from Bugaboo stamps for CAS(E) This Sketch # 42.  I used the "glow" feature of the picture tools tool from Microsoft Word to outline the image. The image was trimmed on the paper cutter and colored in with old CTMH markers. I used a strip of new Lagoon Houndstooth Washi tape under the image to follow the sketch.  The white background panel was mounted onto Lagoon CS and that is all there is to it!

Here is the CAS(E) this sketch #42:

I'm also entering this card into this week's Less is More challenge to use washi tape.
Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
