CASE Study

Hello!
Enjoying the summer? Me? ABSOLUTELY NOT! There is an only pro for me in summer – that it’s started and that means that is going to it’s end. Mwuahaha!Anyway, today I wanna show two cards I made for a new CASE Study. This month the muse is amazing designer Shari Carroll. When I first saw the pic for a new challenge I recognized her style but couldn’t believe my eyes that this month we’ll play along with her cards! For me personally Shari is one of the favorites designers, she had a huge impact on me as a crafter. I love her style, her works and learned a lot from her. She was one of my tutors when I just learned how to make a card.

Well, of course I couldn’t resist from trying to case her cards :)The background of the first I made applying embossing paste through a Tim Holtz stencil, covered it with embossing powder and melt it (after the pasted died a bit). The butterfly – my all times favorite, ideal SSS butterfly. The detailed one (Leanna) I adhered on a corresponding solid one (Chrissy), which I die-cut from vellum and colored with light-brown Copic (similar to kraft color). it’s hard to see it on the photo but in real life it makes difference comparing with regular white vellum. Then I had again an epic fail trying to use PP on my card. I just cannot use it for some reason, it’s always so hard do choose a design. So I just stamped my own PP and use it 🙂 Sequins a final touches. Took blue and white which colored with Copic to make browns from them.The second card is simpler.Here I made the background using a stencil and embossing paste colored with SSS inks (dark chocolate). I love this paste and love coloring it to make it custom-colored. And then added Copic-colored die-cuts.

Thank you for visiting.
