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.

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, our sponsor this week Digis with Attitude is giving away a  gift certificate in the amount of $10 CAD!

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

ME.......

These colours could not have come at a better time for me, DD Rylee's 7th birthday is this week, with a shortage of time it was good to be able to combine the two. I have used the SU's Pony Party, which I picked up in Canada while I was there last October, but was only mounted yesterday (it was a very necessary purchase at the time!)- lol!! A perfect time to make it's debut!  I am glad this card is finally finished, colouring in the butterflies, hearts and flowers seemed like such a great idea at the time, nearly sent me cross eyed!  I can tell you that it wasn't smooth sailing, I put it together so many ways and the end result is nothing like what it looked like in my head before it started- but that is usually the way it works for me.  Overall I am happy with the way it turned out, I hope Rylee likes it too!

Hope you enjoy my creation this week (you will need to look really closely to see the Green Galore!)

 Can't wait to see yours!

I have uses stickles on the wings, highlighted with stickles on the tail and the mane too.

The dots both below and on the bottom of the card have been highlighted with dimensional magic.

The Recipe: All SU unless stated

Cardstock: Whisper White, Yoyo yellow, Only Orange, Pixie pink

Stamps: Pony Party

Markers:Yoyo yellow, Only Orange, Pixie pink and Green Galore (look really hard!)

Ink: Stazon Black

Accessories: scallop circle and circle punches, spellbinders nestabilites circles and scallops, Fiskars Apron Lace boarder punch, only orange grosgrain ribbon, unknown white grosgrain ribbon, dimensional magic, stickles 'crystal', kaiser rhinestones, cuttlebug alphabet (I think it is olivia)
