I needed to get several cards made for upcoming birthdays and decided I’d try the CASE Study challenge again for one of them. Frankly, I found this one very challenging. The two circles really caused me pause, and perhaps I should have gone with other elements of the card to case. Nonetheless, here is the card to case:
You don’t really have to case the layout, but that’s what I chose to do. I’m not unhappy with the result, but it isn’t one of my favorites. I tried a lot of different things, paper flowers, felt flowers . . . but couldn’t seem to come up with anything that seemed to be balanced until I went with stamped images.
Cardstock: Pure Poppy (Papertrey); Patterned paper and cardstock border stickers: Circa 1934 (Cosmo Cricket); Stamps: Giga Guidelines, Guidelines two, Round and About Sentiments (Papertrey); Circle punches, plain and scalloped, ribbon (Michaels)
gorgeous!!
love the colors!!
I love the doiley effect on that first card karen – very pretty and very “now”
I think your card turned out great! I really like the papers! TFS!
The original card is lovely, but your take on it is fab, too 🙂
Always lovely – I need my thesaurus when I visit your blog Karen, always beautiful – actually, stunning cards when I visit!
I always love seeing the beautiful cards you put together, Karen! And your fabric flower is lovely – so neat and beautifully done. xo
I think your card is striking! You probably aren’t sure because it’s not your usual style, but I really like it. I like how you paired the bold red & black colors and how you made the elements work against the bold background patterned paper. Looks very balanced to me. I wouldn’t know where to begin casing the doily card, lol.
Your cards are always beautiful Karen and these two are no exception 🙂 xx
Seriously? This came out GREAT! Hooray for stamping! And thanks for joining in at CASE Study.
