On this one I opted to go with the butterfly, which, keeping to the natural feel, led to the Poppystamps sprig in lieu of the stitching. (My newest die and may I say I'm infatuated - see, Donna M., I really own dies other than Party Time ;)) I actually like this card better (there's something about negative die cuts that gets me every time ;))Hooking up to (CAS)E this Sketch #81 too. Thanks for stopping by. Are you watching the World Cup? Germany is up today. Wish us luck! Of course on Monday I'll be rooting for the USA too!
Supplies:
Paper: CS Bringmann, vellum, old book

Tools: die Dieversions, sprig Poppystamps, punch Martha Stewart

Well, I won't be rooting for England :( Love the gold with the watercolours.
what a pretty card Maria! love the die cut sentiment out of the gold circle and the wonderful splatter! We're watching the soccer - I don't have a fav team - I like to see them all play the games - although since I'm from the US - I hope they do well! Will be watching them tomorrow!
Oooh, I think these may be my favorite "PARTY TIME" cards! LOVE the watercoloring--the streaks and spatters--and the simplicity. I'm not a World Cup fan but I'll be rooting for your countdown! ;)
Two more gorgeous invitations Maria! Love your designs.
This one is definitely my favourite! I think you should stick them all on the wall and take a photo before you send them out. I was going for Aust in the World cup and they sure gave the Netherlands a scare, but we always suspected they wouldn't get passed the 1st round!
Love these two cards, the watercolors look fab on both. As for the World Cup... I don't like football but of course I like my country, so I wish that we can move on, at least a little bit more. Yet, let there be a fair win, whoever they be.
Love em both, maria! The watercoloring looks beautiful and summery in those colors! Fresh, airy and just gorgeous!
Oh Maria...these are two absolutely spectacular cards. I love how you used the die cuts. The sequins and soft colors are divine. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Fusion!
Dreamy and gorgeous, Maria ... LOVE those colours! World Cup ... eek for Germany v Ghana, that was close ... now, France v Switzerland on the other hand ....! Anita :)
Really cool cards! Love your CAS style!

These are beautiful, and oh so creative!
Wow! What a project, I enjoyed scrolling through your blog taking it all in. Great cards.....almost done. :-) Thanks for stopping by my blog. ~ Renee
Ooh! Maria! I really love these ones! I'm enjoying this series of invitations! Such a variety using the same die - you should get commission! ;-)
Oh my beauties again, how do u do this and wait u said I inspired u... Sigh!!! I am on cloud nine :) u r the sweetest and the kindest. Hugs :)
Keep 'em coming, maria f! I'm still amazed you're making individual party invitations. It's difficult for me to comprehend ... kinda like making different Christmas cards I guess. Yes, I do love the non-literal watercolor "banner" which is perfect for the sketch. That sprig die is new to me. Seems like that would get a ton of use! Thanks for playing with Fusion and CAS(e) this Sketch!
Maria, what lovely cards! The first one really caught my eye!
Oh goodness: swoon-inducing gorgeous, this pair! The colours, the design, the butterfly...totally love these! I think I'm one of few people not watching soccer (I know, I know...) but I am beyond excited for Tour de France, starting July 5th!!
