CAS(E) This Sketch #124

Today, I have a card to share that I made for
 CAS(E) This Sketch #124 designed by Chirssy Larson:



Here's my card:

Can you see it?
Do you see how the buildings form the word "hi"?
I'm really happy with how it turned out!

I started by using post-it notes to mask my word.
Then, starting from the bottom, I stamped the buildings from PTI's City Scene 
in PTI's soft stone & CTMH's slate.

Then, using more pot-it notes, I masked off the buildings I'd stamped and stamped more.
I continued this way until I reached the top.

And that sweet little kitty?

 He was just so perfect to perch on the cross bar of the "H"!
He's from Mama Elephant's Three Amigos stamp set.
I stamped him in Versafine onyx black and heat embossed him in clear.
Then, I pressed some summer sunrise ink onto an acrylic block, spritzed it with water
and used a paintbrush to paint him in.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see the rest of the DT's takes on the sketch 
and to play along, if you'd like.
You have until Thursday, May 7th to link up your card.

Thanks for looking!
