For this challenge we are asking you to CASE this fabulous card created by the incredible Kay Miller. To CASE a card means you make your own interpretation of it. You might copy it completely or be inspired by the colours, the layout, the die-cutting.....its left up to you!!
For my card I was still inspired by the basic layout and colours of Kay's card but wanted to play around a bit more with die-cutting:
I seem to be doing a lot of inlaid die-cutting of late. It took me a long time to work out how to do it and now I love to create a smooth surface with lots of interest.
I die-cut the frame from the card front and also from a grey paint chip. I added a panel of white CS behind the die-cut negative and then inlaid the grey frame with the middle rectangle. After die-cutting the flowers from pink and grey paint chips I inlaid some of their petals and leaves. They were then glued them into place, I stamped the sentiment in grey and added some co-ordinating sequins for shine.
The frame die is from Paper Smooches 'Frames 2', as well as the flower dies 'Dainty Flowers'. The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays 'Wallflower' and the sequins are from Neat and Tangled.
I have five challenges I would like to enter:
