CASEplorations Reminder

Hi All,

As you might remember this month over at the CASEplorations Challenge, we are taking inspiration from ....

... no other than SHERY RUSS herself. Her original post for this card can be found here.

For my CASE I went with:

• one layer
• use of stencil
• Subway Art Builder sentiment

My background using the matching stamp and stencil, Vignette Eclectic Florals and ARTplorations Stencils Floral Mania, turned out a little bolder than intended. After stamping me sentiment, I simply doodled a border and added some grey highlights with a Promarker to help it stand out. To finish I added a few floral sequins.

If you love CASEing and feel inspired pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to join us at CASEplorations. As for my part I am off packing up more of my craft room in readiness for our move.

I shall be back soon with some scheduled posts.

Have a lovely Sunday!

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.
