CASE Study #73

Welllll... I thought I'd enter the current CASE Study challenge but I got the Blogger page that says the site has moved! Am I totally nuts? I guess I'll try the link again tomorrow.

*(okie dokie...I was able to log on today ,Wednesday so I guess I was nuts! LOL)*

 

The challenge...Negative die cutting is a huge trend these days,and can produce some spectacular results. We challenge you to give it a try too, but whether you do or not, we can't wait to check out how this card inspired YOU! 

Here’s this months muse Jen Rzasa’s card:

Here is the card I made for the challenge:

I chose to focus on the negative die cutting aspect of the challenge. 

I used two sheets of the same DCWV dp and then cut my Spellbinders die shapes using my Grand Caliber. One larger than the other...then layered them with dimensional tape. My sentiment is a Layers of Color set called Dotted Dahlias. The butterfly is from the Layers of Color Flutterescent set. I used all stamping ink from Tsukineko.

This was a fun challenge... you might like to try it.   ;D

Case Study teams up with The Play Date Cafe

This week the Case Study Challenge is being sponsored by Layers of Color  There is extra inspiration to be had with the colour combination from the The Play Date Cafe.

This months Muse is Eva Dobilas and this week we are casing her gorgeous card that you can see here.

Laura of Layers of Color is kindly donating as this week’s prize. Granny's Jewelry clear art stamp set and Delicious Dots art stencil. We're hoping to give you some inspiration for these fab products.

 
  

I have embossed the stenciling with Tsukineko Versa magic in wheat and clear embossing powder. All of my sweet little dotted flowers and leaves were stamped multiple times then I layered and layered until I thought the card would burst! LOL! ;D  The stamp set is Layers of Color Polka dot love clear art stamp set.  

 

I am so loving twine on my cards these days. I think it adds such a playful touch to projects. It's also such a joy to have my Spellbinders Grand Caliber for cutting my Nestibilities. I love that I can cut my med. and larger nesties as well as the other dies I'm using on a card, all at one time!    

For more inspiration, make sure you visit the Case Study Challenge and  The Play Date Cafe. We would love to see you play long in this week’s challenge.
