Case Study Challenge #53

The muse for this month at Case Study is the totally awesome Chupa. The challenge wa to CASE any of the cards on her blog, so this is the one I chose to CASE:

http://ipalamountain.blogspot.com/2011/08/tsg120-color-challenge.html

 

And this is what I have made:

I loved the layout and the layers Chupa had used on her card, plus I loved the bow as well (i just love ribbon bows!!). I've switched the layout around though but have tried to keep the layers the same.

The stampset I have used is one from the new 2011/2012 catty that is due out on September 1st - it's called 'Forever Young'. The paper is also from the new catty and is called 'Timeless Portrait'. I've also used images from a couple of stampsets that are sadly retiring - ''Sense Of Time' and 'Friends 24/7'.

I noticed on Chupa's blog that in a few of the gorgeous cards she has created, that she had used a spiral border embellishment, so instead of the usual scallop border punch, I used SU's spiral border punch for a change.

I did a little whoopsy on this card and accidentally tore a corner, so instead of having to re-stamp another image, I just curled the corner over (you wouldn't have known if I hadn't told you LOL!!).

I hope you like what I have created - thanks so much for looking!!

Card Swap

 

Just thought I'd share with you a card I made for a recent swap I participated in:

 

 

I've CASE-d the layout from one that Teneale Williams did. My goodness that lady has some talent!!!

The only criteria for the swap was that we had was that we had to use the Bigshot in some way, so I have used one of Stampin' Ups embossing folders on a corner of the vase. The vase itself has been made by using the ornament punch and just cutting off a little on one edge. What do you think??

My swaps have all been posted off now and I am eagerly awaiting receving mine in the post soon!!.

 

Card Ingredients:

• Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Elegant Eggplant cardstock

Just Add Ink Challenge #25

This weeks challenge over at Just Add Ink is a colour challenge.  These are the colours to work with:

Gorgeous, aren't they!

And this is what I have created:

I'm loving making hand made flower embellishments at the moment and putting them on cards, scrap pages & gift boxes (not that you'd be able to send this card through the post!!

The sentiment is from the 'Friends 24-7'  stamp set and the DSP is the Autumn Traditions out of the new mini catty.

Thanks for stopping by!
