Hi!!! What a crazy week this has been! I even have TWO posts today. Sometimes I like to try to combine the Fancy Friday challenge with my TGIF challenge - but I have so many things going on I need cards for right now, well....
So this month we chose a really fun theme for our challenge - CASE the catalog. Just in case you didn't know, we use the term "CASE" to refer to copying or being inspired by a particular project. Like Copy And Share Everything/Everywhere... I LOVE doing this, because let's face it, our designers that create for the catalogs are some AMAZING artists!
I loved the layout and layers of this card -
So I decided to take my inspiration from it for this birthday card!
I kept the overall layout, and the embossing folder background, but chose one I thought worked a little better with the look of the beautiful flower image from the Just Because stamp set. I stamped the image on the banner, and then twice again on scrap cardstock, so that I could create multiple layers in the vase and the flowers. It's GORGEOUS!!!
I colored the image with my Stampin' Blends, and did you notice the shading on the vase? Sometimes I tend to get locked in to using just the 2 different variants of the same color, and forget that I can add depth to my image by using multiple colors together. In addition to the Smoky Slate, I also used Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue Blends!
I hope that I was able to inspire you a little today, and I know that there is a TON of inspiration in the hop! Your next stop for more inspiration is Rhoda MacPherson!
