case study challenge 84

Oh my goodness has another week gone by already? Well it must have because Thursday means CASE study! This is our last week with Laura as our muse and not unsurprisingly I have loved Laura's clean and simple style. Here's her last card for CASE study and boy is this card not just pure fabulous?!


I surprised myself by not taking the negative die cut route with this one, but instead concentrated on the colours of red, black and grey and the flower shape. That got my mind thinking to poppies and here's what I came up with.


Supplies: Stamps - Hero Arts designer woodgrain, small striped flower, Papertrey Ink round and round; Ink - Versafine onyx black, Versacolor chateau gray; Die - Lil' Inker Designs flags and tags

I kept the banner going across the card and a flower with a simple sentiment. I stamped and heat embossed the poppy before colouring with my copics and fussy cutting out. Then I curled the petals back and added glossy accents to the centre.

Well that's me for today. I'm off to enjoy what's left of this gorgeous weather! Pop by these lovely ladies for more inspiration and if you get the chance we'd love it if you played along with us this week.
