CASEplorations Guest Designer

Hey y'all!
Hope all is well?!... :)

Recently I was asked by Maria if it would be okay to CASE my card at CASEplorations and if I'd like to CASE myself, if so. Of course, I said yes! :) Thank you so much to Maria and all the ladies for having me!!


Talk about tough! lol Have you ever tried CASEing yourself?!...Let's just say I was a complete mess trying to figure out what I was doing!...I had one of those 'what was I thinking?!!' moments. lol Though I stuck with it, after a mild break. ;) And wouldn't you know, I actually managed to CASE my own card! :)


For my card, I decided I wasn't going to use the same stamps/dies as before. Though, I would try to keep the colors pretty much the same and the overall shape/layout. I think I did okay?!...

To keep things feeling 'soft', I colored my flower with colored pencils rather than markers. Afterwards, I did some thinking on how to add some gold. Not having any metallic gold paper left, I had to figure something out...Which eventually, I ended up going to the craft store and buying one sheet of a metallic gold woodgrain cardstock. (I somewhat stumbled upon it and thought it was nice looking.) Once I had this cardstock, I used a circle die with it, stamped on my sentiment and called that part good. ;) After, I added another die cut piece behind my circle. Once done, I put everything together and added it on my card base.

Be sure to swing on over to CASEplorations to see all the DT creations! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us!! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!
