CASE Study Challenge #176

I was inspired by both cards created by muse Donna Mikasa for this week's challenge over at CASE Study and followed the colour and design quite closely, hey, if it works, use it!

Card - Bazzill. Doily - Wilton. Wood banner - Studio Calico. Die - PTI.

Stamp - PTI. Washi Tape - Hema. Spray Ink - Dylusions.

I keep looking at it as it sits on my desk, it really conveys a party feeling, it just makes me smile!

Thanks for looking,

CASE Study Challenge #152

I am feeling in the mood for something a little bit sunny, it's been overcast here for the past couple of days and I am not used to it as we have had such glorious weather here this summer.

I am entering this card into this week's Case Study Challenge, where this month's special muse is the talented Jennifer McGuire, here is the inspiration card.

I used my silhouette to cut the sun rays and clouds and the sentiment is from PTI Movers and Shakers sentiments.

Happy Monday!

CASE Study Challenge #123

Over at the Case Study Challenge Blog their muse this month is the talented Amber Kemp-Gerstel and the challenge this week is to use this pretty card as inspiration;

So, without further ado, here is my take;

Apologies for the poorly lit picture I am still working on better ways to take pictures at night! I used the PTI Friendship Jar and filled it with hearts from the PTI Sweet Baby set, although you can't see it in this picture I also die cut a jar out of acetate to place over the top to give it a nice glossy 'jar-like' finish. My favourite part was colouring the bow (from PTI Friendship Jar Summer Fillers) I'm not too good when it comes to colouring but I am getting better, I just need to practise more! I finished it all off with a sweet sentiment from Hero Arts.

I am also trying to work more on the inside of cards and envelopes, the quickest way to add a nice finishing touch was some heart print washi tape on the envelope.

Thanks for looking

Update: Here is a marginally better photo! You can just about see the shine on the jar from the acetate.
