case study challenge 76

The start of a new month means a new muse for CASE study. For February we have the amazing Karola Witczak joining us. Karola has a wonderful detailed style which should be quite daunting for my CAS style, but you know what, there is so much inspiration packed into Karola's designs that I actually found it surprisingly easy! So here's this week's inspiration card from Karola.



And here's my card. I picked out the green and blue colour palette and focused in on a theme of butterflies.

Pin It
Stamps - Hero Arts antique engravings, Papertrey Ink modern basics, birthday basics; Inks - Versafine onyx black, Versacolor split pea, seafoam; Card - Papertrey Ink vellum

I used Papertrey Ink's Modern Basics set to create a base for my butterfly (Hero Arts Antique Engravings). I stamped the butterfly twice, once on to the base and once onto a piece of vellum. I cut the vellum butterfly out and then glued it just along the body, bending the wings up to give dimension. I used Papertrey Ink vellum which has enough weight to keep the wings in place.


Well that's me for today but for more inspiration pop by these talented ladies:

  4. Wauw! I love the way your butterfly turns out. I made something like this last week but I was afraid to use black thinking it wouldn't be beautiful. But this is super beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.
