Time for CASE study #30

 It's time for another CASE study!
We have another gorgeous number from the supremely talented Julee Tilman from Poetic Aristry, our Muse for the month of March .

You can see all the details of Julee's beautiful card here
I was inspired by the dots (Of course), the muted colours and the layout
What inspires you?


I made this little gift box of sorts to give to one of Darcy's friend's Mums as a thank you for taking Darcy and 3 of her friends to the movies last Saturday.  I have filled the inside with some chocolate truffles from Costco (gotta love Costco!), normally I would make something to go inside but things have been a little out of order here this past week and I just didn't get to it- but she looooooved it anyway!


The Recipe:
Cardstock:  Fine Linen, Kraft, Basic Black
Paper: Distressed Dots- Fine Linen (PTI)
Ink:  Versafine- Onyx Black
 Stamps: Whimsical Words (SU), Background Basics: Petal Power and Text Style(PTI)
Accessories:  Die namics Faux Crochet boarder (MFT), Black organza and satin  ribbon, Kaiser Pearls, Limitless Layers Dies (PTI), eylet boarder (PTI), Nestabilites Labels 1


Our Fabulous Sponsor for this week is Amber Ink, who are  Generously giving away a $15 gift certificate to the store.
What an incentive to get you crafting!!

If you want to play along you can check out all the details on the CASE study site, but in a nutshell- it is YOUR way!
