We’ve been home for just three days from a fabulous trip to Croatia and Slovenia. I have photos to share later, but I want to send this card off to Just Us Girls Challenge where Carol is hosting the current challenge: CASE a DT.
Carol is a wonderfully creative card maker, and the minute I saw her card, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. Here’s Carol’s beautiful card:
And here’s my take:
Like Carol’s, the background for my card is a piece of patterned paper. It’s from an old favorite 6X6 pack by Sunny Studio. I die cut the Spiral Notebook by Papertrey Ink from Fresh Snow Linen cardstock that reminds me of the texture of some expensive stationery. I added it to the background at the same angle as Carol’s postage stamp design.
The pen from The Greetery’s Pen Pal die was also cut from a scrap of patterned paper (unknown) with silver mirror cardstock for the nib and pen accents. Rather than stamp my sentiment as Carol did, I added a die cut from The Greetery’s Scripted Sentiments. The pen was added to the card with some thin dimensional tape.
It’s good to be back in the craft room again, and to have some time to create just for fun! I have 16 birthdays and anniversaries on the May calendar. Fortunately, many of the cards I need were created before we left, but I’ve been busy trying to get the rest of them done.
Of course I am happy you decided to CASE my card and yours is so pretty and elegant! I have that sentiment and die set and I really need to break it out. Love your linen look paper for the sheet of paper too. Thanks so much for playing along Karen! We appreciate your participation at Just Us Girls!
Loved seeing the pictures of your trip on IG, Karen! Can only imagine how fun it was! What a wonderful case of Carol’s card! Very creative using her design and a pen, but for a completely different vibe!
Your attention to detail makes this a terrific card, Karen. The linen cardstock was perfect for the paper and what a fancy pen you created. Thanks for sharing your CASE of Carol’s card with us at Just Us Girls.
Lovely card, striking design. I also like the linen paper for the note page.
What a pretty CASE of Carol’s card! Love the marvelous texture and the colors. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Just Us Girls, Karen!
Welcome home, Karen! I’m behind, as usual! I love, love, love how you cased Carol’s design! Anyone would be thrilled to get your pretty note! I’m excited to hear about your trip and see the photos, but I know it’s a process. So glad you are home safe! Hugs, Darnell
