This Retro Sketch was too fun to pass up as I'm really enjoying using tags on cards and it provided the perfect opportunity to use one of my PTI tag dies. I combined it with this week's CR84FN challenge as the colour combo was delicious :) 
You may be thinking I may have lost my marbles or gone off my rocker as there is a "skewed" element on the sketch and I'm not squealing like a pig LOL! However, when the skewed panel is a tag, I can somehow deal with it just fine - go figure?!Used lots of my favorite dies on this card, tossed in some dots for good measure and had fun with all the buttons. A truly fabulous colour combo I will definitely use again.
Yesterday I became quite knowledgeable about window replacement after my son purposely broke our front window when he got mad...thankfully it is double pane and just the first pane broke. Needless to say, he is out half the replacement cost and has learned a very valuable lesson - we hope! The joy of having boys!

Oh wow this is a STUNNER! LOVE the shape of that tag!!! The colors, textures and layers are so perfectly balanced! So glad you played RetroSketches this week Marisa!
Yep a skewed panel... but WHAT no squeeling. Now we are making progress I tell you. ;0) Very pretty, I like that the swiss dots is turned, might have to try that.
Marisa, the grey color you chose is a perfect compliment to this card. Beautiful and stunning!
How are you doing? I miss visiting....life's too busy sometimes! Hope your foot is doing ok!
Love this card, Marisa!! Great use of white and the tag is so fun!! Yikes - your son!! Boys! I am guessing that will not happen again :)

Marissa, LOVE the stamped text and the embossing and the pretty butterfly! THX for playing with us at CR84FN!
Marisa, this has to be one of my favorites from you! Gorgeous job with the sketch and these fabulous colors.
So sorry to hear about your broken window. Our little guy has broken two already by playing hockey in the house. Hopefully your son has learned a good lesson and you won't have to replace a window again anytime soon!
Gorgeous!! I love the way you combine a sketch challenge with a colour one - I can only do one at a time, lol!
