CASEplorations October


Hi Everyone,

another month has passed and it's already October. Where has the time gone??? Well the upside is that another month of fun and CASEing has started over on the STAMPlorations Blog.

This month's inspiration come from Greta Hess of GG Creations who enchanted us with this stunning B&W make. You can find the details on how Greta made this beauty here.


I decided to combine this month's CASEplorations project with entering THE HOP TO STOP which requires the use of the colour purple, hence my take turned into a purple monochromatic one ...


It's a pretty straight forward one ... liking the striking border of Greta's card, I used stamps from the Grahpic Squares set to stamp mine. Next I stamped, embossed and watercoloured the rose (Blossom Overture), stamped my sentiment (Subway Art Builders: Dare), edged my pieces with dark purple, layered as shown and finished off by adding a tiny heart.
