I've had a chance to do lots of stamping this week! I'm happy to have a second post to share with you today that I made for the CASE study challenge. The challenge features cards by talented artists and we are to draw inspiration from their work and then create a project with our own spin on that.
The amazing designer for this month has been Sarah Martina Parker, and here is her gorgeous card.
I loved her subtle layers and soft colors, the lace and seam binding bow, and the beautiful way she incorporated stripes, script and flourishes in her design.
Here's my card.
Don't you love those flowers from the Fabulous Floret set? I stamped them in Basic Brown ink on white card stock, and using Blender Pens, I colored them with ink. The large blossom was inked in Bashful Blue, then I added shading with a Marina Mist marker.
My favorite part of this card was creating the background papers. I stamped the script from the Strength & Hope set on Crumb cake, and then sponged with Soft Suede to add depth. For the soft blue layer, I began with Presto Patterns DSP which is white with an embossed design that shows up when you sponge over it. I stamped the flourishes in Crumb Cake ink and then sponged Bashful Blue.
I have to tell you that all the work that went into this card was very satisfying and I love the result. I also loved thinking about the dear friend that I'll be sending this to today.
As for my dear blog friends, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate you stopping in each day!
