Happy Sunday everyone. I am sure you are all busy watching the Super Bowl. I despise football, so I am spending it in my craft room blogging my entry into K and R Designs Friday Inspiration File Challenge. (My husband does have the game on in the living room but I could care less who wins.)
Every Friday Kara shares her favorite projects online that she has seen that week. It is always so fabulous to see what she picks. She is celebrating week 300 with a challenge to pick a card from her inspiration file and CASE it.
Today I am sharing a card that was inspired by this card on Tracey McNeely's blog, "In My Creative Opinion." Her card was shown on week #299. Yes, I could have gone further into Kara's Friday Inspiration File to CASE a different card but I saw Tracey's card last week and knew I HAD to make one like it.
Here is what I came up with:
Tracey use a Sugar Peas Design stamp and die set for her card but I do not own that set. Instead, I used the envelope from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps new "Special Delivery" stamp set. I also used pink accents rather then red accents like Tracey did.
I stamped the envelope with Memento "Tuxedo Black" dye ink across a strip of Neenah "White" card stock. I had to do a bit of masking but since I had previously used a masking technique with this stamp, it came about pretty quick. The middle envelope was fussy cut and colored in using Copic markers. I then used foam adhesive to give it a bit of pop.
I used the Lawn Fawn "Stitched Scallop" border die to die cut a pink striped pattern paper scrap and used it to edge the stamped strip. Next I adhered the framed strip to a white, top folding A2 card. I stamped the sentiment last using CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Heartfelt Sayings" set in Simon Says Stamps "Cotton Candy" ink.
Here is Tracey's card that I CASEd:
This challenge was so much fun. I liked seeing a card and using supplies that I had on hand rather then copying the card exactly. (Though if I had this set, I would copy it. It ROCKS!)
I am also entering this into Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge-"The Color of Love." I think this fits, don't you?
I thank you for stopping by tonight. Have a great night!!
