The card I just whipped up is for the Challenge over at Kelly Latevola's Blog and her Challenge which celebrates her One Year Anniversary for this series, CASEing Genius Challenge.
I decided to CASE one of Brandi Hall's creations....she had so many wonderful and creative cards to choose from and I finally decided on this particular one:
It is titled Beautiful for obvious reasons.
Here is my CASE:
I used a Gina K Designs stamp set, Folk Filigree and an MFT stamp set, Simply Fabulous Sayings. They compliment each other so nicely.
I stamped my images in Pumpkin Pie and Tempting Turquoise inks. Added the 3 turquoise buttons threaded with a bit of jute twine.
I quite love how this came out, I may have to go back and CASE a few more from Brandi's Blog.
Now in 'paying' this forward I am to nominate and bring light to another crafty gal.....do you know how many crafty gals I know?!?! Egads! I put my top 6 talented names in a hat and drew one.....sorry that's the only way I could sleep tonight! lol
My crafty nomination is: Kathy Krug! She is wildly talented (as all my friends are) and has such a way with floral die cuts and layering, she is FABULOUS. Please go check out some of her lovely creations......and then pick your jaw off the floor! ;)
Thanks so much for coming by.
Enjoy~~
I quite love how this came out too. You did a great job on the design and the papers to enhance this card. Love the sentiment too. Putting the flower arrangement together is genius. What time did you get up to make this before work? I totally agree with your pick of Kathy, and I know it is hard to pick just one. I loved all of the geniuses on this challenge. So many ideas, all creative people.
