A CASual CAS(E) of Smooching on the Farm....



Just because I'm loving the texture trend at the moment & had fun incorporating textured papers - wooden, burlap, lace and gingham - for this neutral-on-neutral card.  The row of crayons in this weeks Paper Smooches Sparks Picture Perfect Challenge reminded me of wooden fence pickets, and after spotting this weeks gorgeous CAS(E) this Sketch, I thought I'd turn the sketch on its side and cut a peep hole front and back across which I laid two Maryanne Designs die cut fences end-to-end.  I thought it was perfectly fitting that CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #33 has three repeated elements, and I stamped three gorgeous Paper Smooches farm animals, Very Sheepish from Party Posse, and the Nanny Goat and Moo Cow from Green Acres, and created the barnyard sentiment using Alphadot.  Happily playing along with CAS-ual Fridays Over the Edge too - because you would have to agree, this card is a little over the top LOL!
