{CASE}ing Genius is a weekly post on Kelly's blog, where she chooses a fellow card-maker, lets us get to know that person a bit with a fun interview, and some of her cards, and then CASES one of those cards. It's been a great way to meet more wonderful designers!
Kelly and I both love flowers, and we both feature them prominently on our cards often, so I can't wait to see what she does with me as her muse! I hope you'll go over to her blog, You and Your Big Dreams, and leave us both some love there.

I was so tickled that she wanted to feature me that I decided I'd turn the tables on her and CASE one of her amazing cards! I was really taken with this post, where she stamped, masked, die-cut and inlaid, using her amazing coloring skills with Copics. And she ended up with 2 gorgeous cards! Here's my CASE of them:
supplies: Altenew Painted Flowers, Simon's Stitched Rectangle die, Winnie & Walter's Big, Bold Friends cutaway
I stamped my flowers on a white cardstock panel, keeping them as close together as I could, but I didn't do any masking. These are multi-step stamps, so next I colored the flowers and leaves, using 2 shades of ink for each color you see here. The next step was to die-cut the stitched rectangle from that stamped panel, and also from a clean white panel. And from those smaller stitched panels, the word was die-cut, then inlaid back into the opposing panel. The white panel was inlaid back into the stamped panel, and then the whole thing was popped above a card base. The smaller panel with the floral background was affixed to another white card base, and voila! 2 cards for 1!
Thank you so much, Kelly, for your amazing inspiration, and for featuring me on your blog today!
beautiful cards and fantastic idea for creating 2 cards - when i get home from my trip i think this will be the first card to try! can't ever get enough of those painted flowers anyway!! and congrats on being Kelly's guest today!

ReplyDeleteLin, fabulous cards. The first is so eyecatching with the white panel setting off your floral die cut. It is my favorite of the two, both are so pretty. Wonderful cards from your inspiration.
