Case Study Challenge #50

 
It is the 1st Anniversary of The CASE Study Challenge blog and to celebrate, the challenge this month is to CASE a card from one of their fabulous Design Team members. I have chosen to CASE  a card from the awesome Teneale Williams.

This is her card:

 
And this is what I have come up with for my entry:

 

I adore Teneales' work and I simply love the 'Because I Care' stamp set, so I have used the same stamp set and the same papers as Teneale has done. I have also pretty much stuck to the same layout as well (though I haven't used as many layers) but instead of a card, I have made an Easel Desktop Tidy/Calendar. At the end of the month, you just remove the current month on display and replace with the next month. The drawers can be filled with whatever you like!

Here is a view from the top:

 

I just love how Teneale uses lots of layering and gives her work a vintage feel - she is such a super-talented lady! Thank you Teneale for providing such inspiration for us all and allowing us to CASE your work!!

Ingredients Used:

• Botanical Gazette DSP
• Early Espresso, Very Vanilla Cardstock
• All A Flutter, French Foliage, Because I Care stampsets
• Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Marina Mist inkpads
• Vintage Brads, Old Olive Satin Ribbon

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Inkspiration Colour Challenge #70

This week's colour challenge over at Inkspirations was to use the following colours:

 

I just love this beautiful, soft colour combo, so had to take part in this one!!  This is what I came up with:

 

I've used one of my most fave stamp sets to create this card - 'Because I Care'. It is one of the Hostess Only stamp sets and I just love it! I've also used stamps from 'Nature Walk', 'Elements Of Style' and 'Friends 24/7'.

Supplies Used:

• Stampsets:       Because I Care, Nature Walk, Friends 24/7, Elements Of Style
• Cardstock:     Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla, Perfect Plum

Because I Care Take 2

This is take 2 of the 'Because I Care' card that I made earlier this month, only this time I used pinks instead of blues to create the card:

 

 

The papers I've used in this card are from the 'Designer Series Paper Pack - In Color', which is a Level 1 hostess gift. The sentiment is from the 'Occasional Quotes' stamp set, which is aq evel 3 hostess set. Though this card is made in exactly the same way as the first one I did (see my post on 9th January), it looks just that little bit different.

Here is the inside of the card:

 

Ingredients Used:

• Stamps:    Because I Care, Occasional Quotes, Sanded
• Cardstock:    Crumb Cake, Confetti White, Pink Pirouette, Early Espresso
• DSP:    'Designer Series Paper Pack - In Color'
• Inks:    Crumb Cake, Early Espress, Black Stazon, Old Olive, Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette, Pretty In Pink, Regal Rose
• Ribbon:    Victoria Crochet Trim
• Tools:    Scallop Trim Border Punch, Big Shot, Top Note Die, Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder
• Technique Used:    Masking
• Non SU:    Oval Die

Thanks for looking and Happy stamping!!

 

Because I Care

This is a card I made yesterday using the 'Because I Care' stamp set . It is a Level 1 Hostess Set

 

I've used the 'Elegant Soiree' DSP to create this card - such beautiful , soft colours!. I've used the masking technique to stamp the 'Sanded' background stamp over my image, then I have used the reverse of the mask to colour the image in. The flower has been coloured using Certainly Celery and Old Olive for the leaves and Baja Breeze and Pacific Point for the petals.

Let me know what you think!
