Thinking of you

 Hello-

I saw this card at Gundi's blog Papierelle and I loved that she had built a sweet scene in the corner of her card.  So I decided to case her design as it inspired me.




I took a bit of a bigger corner, but I love that little scene.  Thank you Gundi for inspiring me.


Thanks for visiting.

Pencil and Copics

 Hello-

Today, I am attempting a technique case of Sandy Allnock's Layering Copic and Pencil for blending.  Her blog post is here and the you tube video is here

I made two cards. I tried it first on a lighter colored cardstock and a no line look, and felt fairly good about it, then went to a darker cardstock. I feel pretty good about that one too. The photo picks up more light on the white than it looks IRL. 




Give it a try it was fun.  Thanks for visiting.

Paper Hugs

 Hi there.

I am back with my March Case.  I've seen a lot of cards using color to enhance those fabulous 3D embossing folders.  The first to catch my eye was this by Yana Smakula.  Betty created a beauty with this one. Yana used a white ink pad to add color to her version, Betty added perfect pearls powder. 


Light toned copics were used to add color.  This was fun. Folder used is Altenew's Flowers and Leaves.  I did spritz my paper with a touch of water first.  I got nice deep impressions with thicker card stock, and I got two panels when I used thinner (80lb) cardstock and inadvertently used two panels while embossing. They were also nice and deep. The sentiment die is from Simon Says Stamp.  

Thanks so much for visiting.

Dose of Happy

 Hi there-

I've started collecting online images and links to cards that grabbed me when I first saw them.  I am going to case them in my fashion with stuff I have.  I love yellow its no secret -- when I saw this card by Down of WPLUS9 (second card), I knew at some time I'd want to incorporate those elements.


My Supplies -  Avery Elle's Blooming, Altenew's Gradient Stripes Cover Die  , Copics (Y15,19,8; R05,17; C3; G12,24,100) and some SU pearls colored with Copic markers.

Do you ever case a card you've seen online?

Thanks for stopping by.

Celebrate

 Hello-

Peggy gave me a darling handmade calendar this year...all gnomes, so I am not making one.  I wanted to have some sort of year long project, so I have started to collect online cards I see that I would love to CASE in some way or another, always adding my own touch to it.  So, here is the first one of the  year.

Anita made this card and it captured me right away.  Recently, Jeanne a similar card and it reminded me that I should give the colors and brushstrokes a try.  I always need a man card.


Supplies- Hero Arts Ink in Navy, Lawn Fawn ink in  Doe, SSS dies Celebrate and Etched Laurel Leaf and some random patterned paper from my piles of bits and pieces.

I am quite happy with how it turned out.

Thanks for visiting.
