I was really disappointed that I missed out on the first CAS(E) this Sketch challenge so I was determined to get a card made for it this week. They have a killer design team over there and they're all ladies whose work I avidly follow. :) I've got all sorts of new things going on with this card. The Cherry Blossoms and sentiment are from Sweet Stamp Shop and the pink "smudge" is from The Craft's Meow's Typically Teen set. The pink I used is Garnet Twinkling H2O. I've had a box full of H2Os for well over a year now and this is the first time I've busted them out. I really like the bit of shine you get from them.I also want to mention some awesome customer service. A few weeks ago I decided to order some stamps from The Craft's Meow. I filled up my cart, went to check out and realised there was no shipping option for Bermuda. I do have a way of ordering things through the US but it adds on a lot of money so I emailed TCM and asked if they might at some point consider adding Bermuda as a shipping destination. Less than 12 hours later (on a Sunday no less!) I had a response saying that Bermuda had been added and I could put my order in. Now that is impressive. On top of that the stamps arrived quickly and are really great quality. I'm excited to really get playing with them!

That is one of my favourite stamps - it can be used in so many ways! Love the twinkly, watercolour look and the tie in to the cherry blossom branch!
