A Case Challenge

Every week Sudsol posts a CASE (Copy and Share Everything) Challenge.  They supply a photograph of a card and you can either CASE it exactly or you can change colours, stampsets etc.

I didn’t have the same stampsets and I did change the colours but the essence of the card is still the same.  I scored and folded Old Olive card and then stamped the swirl image from the Baroque Motifs stampset onto the card front using Basic Gray ink.  I punched a strip of Melon Mambo card using the soon to be released Lace Ribbon Border Punch (you are going to love this one).  I attached it to the right hand side of the card front, trimming to match the card front.  I attached a narrow strip of Basic Gray card to a slightly wider strip of Old Olive card and then attached it to the right hand side of the card front over the Lace Ribbon Border.  I punched two Fancy Flowers from Melon Mambo card and also punched the Lace Ribbon Border Punch on a scrap of Whisper White card and trimmed it so that I had one doily shaped piece.  I did use my bone folder on the Fancy Flowers to soften them a little and then attached the Fancy Flowers and the Whisper White doily together using a Vintage brad.   I stamped “cherish” from the Baroque Motifs stampset onto the card front making sure that the flower wouldn’t hide it.  I scrunched the petals of the Fancy Flowers a little and then added it to the card front using dimensionals. 

I took my colours from the colour coach and I’m really not sure that I actually like the card.  I think these colours would look better with a different mix and perhaps a little more Whisper White.   There is a challenge to use these very colours at Holly Krautkremer’s Rubber Redneck blog this week, so I might have a play and see what I can come up with.

Bye for now, Kris.
