CASE study #12

Hello and welcome back for another week of creativity at CASE study! How on earth did we sneak through to week 12??
  This is a sad week for us at CASE study, not only do we bid farewell to our fabulous October muse Barbara Anders from Paper Pursuits, but we also wave good bye to one of our own - Carole *really sad face*!!!   I am sure you will join me in saying a big thank you to Barbara for this months inspiration and wish Carole well for bigger things to come in the future, I will certainly miss you both at CASE study!

Stay tuned as Miss Chupa has some more exciting news to come in the next few days, and of course a sneak preview of November's Muse!

 This is Barbara's inspiration card for this weeks CASE,  how elegant is this!!

If you would like to check out the direct link for Barbara's card, click here .
Here is my take ...

Better IRL
Unfortunately it didn't photograph particularly well!  I have embossed acetate and sanded the raised bits (I saw it on someones blog, but can't remember which one!)




The Recipe:

Cardstock: Stamper Select White (PTI),  Ridinghood Red, Not quite navy
Stamps:Tree Trimming Trio (PTI), 

Ink: Not Quite navy
Accessories:Scor Pal, cuttlebug Christmas countdown embossing folder, button, Baker's Twine (PTI), Ridinghood ribbon, Acetate, sanding block

If you haven't played with us before, here is a rundown of what you can do to join in the fun. 

Take what works best for you from Brarbars stunner (above): the layout, the colours, techniques, or whatever else, and use it on your sample. You may also like to CASE the whole look. In other words, your job is to show us, how Barbara's  inspires YOU.

There is no right or wrong it is just YOUR way!!

We would all love you to play along with us at CASE study again

 Sounds like a fun? Sure does! It is now your turn to be creative

 Something else to get you inspired (as if Barbara's card is not enough-lol!)
Our Carole is sponsoring the challenge this week, and will be sending one lucky winner this a new stampin' up level 1 hostess set called "northern hearts". it's very pretty, with scandinavian-style
snowflakes, a little wreath and folk-art kissing birds.

The design team also has stunning creations, think you might find a sparkle or 2!

CASE study #11- I'm in loooooooove

Hello and welcome back for another week of creativity at CASE study!    This week brings us yet another  beauty from Barbara Anders at Paper Pursuits!!! 

Thank you to all of the 27 beauties that CASEd Barbara's inspiration card from last week. Another sensational display of imagination, all entries so different, yet gained inspiration from the same card!  Congratulations to all the winners!

 If you are not familiar with Barbara's work I would strongly recommend a visit to her blog- just amazing!!  This is the inspiration card for this weeks CASE, oh so sparkly and not to mention those fabulous dots (oh I love dots)!
 If you would like to check out the direct link for Barbara's card, click here
I must admit that I did get a little excited this week and made 2 cards, must have been the sparkles that look like dots and the dotty biscotti!
As the heading suggests, I am in looooove (no there is no new romance!), just this colour Teal/Hawaiin shores!  I used it on my last card for Scrapbook boutique and now for these 2, have plans for some more!!!  This is certainly not in my usual colour palette, and it got there quite by mistake! I ordered the ribbon from PTI and when it arrived I nearly gave it away, and I am not sure how the copics arrived in my stash either, must have been an oversite!  The universe works in strange ways, I was meant to have these colours and fall in love-lol!!!  I will be ordering the matching cardstock on my next PTI order!

 

The Recipe: (for both cards)

Cardstock: Stamper Select White (PTI), Artarama Teal & Sea green and Crumb cake, Very vanilla
Paper: Dotty Biscotti (PTI)
Stamps:Delightful Dahlia (PTI), 

Ink: Cool Caribbean
Accessories:Nestabilities Labels 4, 16 & 17, Rolled Rose Die (MFT), leaf die (PTI), White & Cream Felt, ZVA bling flourish CR-03CA-111, Grosgrain Texture Board (MFT), Hawaiian shores grosgrain & Satin ribbon, clear spica pen, corner rounder (SU)

If you haven't played with us before, here is a rundown of what you can do to join in the fun. 

Take what works best for you from the stunning creation (above): the layout, the colours, techniques, or whatever else, and use it on your sample. You may also like to CASE the whole look. In other words, your job is to show us, how Barbara's  inspires YOU.
