case study challenge 83

Ah, spring really feels like it's here! Warmer days, lighter too, bit of sunshine - perfect! I must check but I think here in the UK our clocks go forward this weekend :)

Anyhow, enough rambling let me jump straight in with this CAS beauty from Laura as this weeks card to inspire us at CASE study.

I pretty much kept all elements of Laura's card, just switched out the paper and stamps. I loved the full length panel popped up over the patterned paper and kept my image and sentiments down in the lower part of the panel too.

Supplies: Stamps - Paper Smooches healthy vibes; Inks - Versafine onyx black; Paper - My Mind's Eye lime twist life of the party; Markers; Clear Embossing Powder

I tried different ways of using this plaster stamp - paper piecing, die cut heart out of red card etc but in the end I like it simply coloured with my markers. I've had a couple of questions about which markers I use. I use the term "marker" generally as I have Copics, Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I mainly use Promarkers for a number of reasons - they are more widely available in the UK, cheaper and I like the fine tip you can add on over the bullet nib. I have found that (within reason) Promarkers and Copics can be used together too :)
