Case Study #44

Seeing as Jill Foster is this month’s muse at the CASE Study Challenge Blog, I couldn’t resist having a play along. Jill is one of my all time favourite card makers. I love the colours and vibrancy of her cards….it sings volumes to me!

So here is her card…

And here is my take. As you can see I used the same red/orange in the background and the same layout.

And a close up showing the background detail. I clear embossed the Hero Arts Classic Fabric Design stamp over the top of my distress ink background. I had to do a lot of fussy cutting around those flowers, which are coloured in with Copic markers.

Supplies:

Stamps: Hero Arts Delicate Blossoms stamp set (CL449), Hero Arts Classic Fabric Design (CG245), Waltzingmouse ‘Teeny Trees’ stamp set for ‘Birthday Wishes’ sentiment
Ink: Memento Ink – Tuxedo Black, Versafine Ink – Onyx Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Dried Marigold, Barn Door, Scattered Straw
Card: Regal Craft Card (white textured DL single fold (cut to size), X-Press-It white blending card
Other Supplies: Copic Markers, American Crafts clear embossing powder, blending tool, kitchen twine, chipboard tag, foam dimensionals.

That’s all for today folks. Thanks for stopping by,
