milk and cookies for a sketch

I have just a quick post tonight to share the card I’ve made for the CAS(E) this Sketch! challenge that ends tomorrow morning.  I’ll admit I took a bit of liberty with the sketch by turning it 90° and adding a few panels, but I think you can still see the basics of the sketch within the focal panel.  I felt like the card looked too plain with just the focal panel on the base, so I added a punch of color with the textured red mat.  After I’d stamped the images on the ivory focal panel, I had a “DUH!” moment where I realized I needed white for the milk.  So I stamped all the elements on a scrap of white cardstock, colored them, fussy cut them, and then adhered them to the focal panel.  The straw in the milk glass took a little bit of finagling with my x-acto knife, but I finally got it to look kind of realistic.

Since I used a die to cut the focal panel, I’m going to submit this into the current challenge at The Paper Players.  I’m also entering this into the “Anything Goes” challenge at Clear It Out challenge blog.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Comments are always read and appreciated!
