Welcome.
The card I am sharing was inspired by this card by Carolyn King, and I was going to CASE it, but things did not go how I had hoped.

Firstly The background did not go as planned, so I used dp instead
The image was the same basic shape as Carolyn's, that and the curled corner, were basically the only likenesses in the end, but I was glad of the inspiration.
I added an embossed sentiment to the side of the image.
And a flower to the bottom right corner, with a wee piece of gold ribbon peeking out. The base card was cream coloured, and the edges wee sponged with Bundled Sage distress ink.
On the inside I stamped the image again with orange and brown die inks.
(For some reason the camera made the card look blue, not cream.)
On the other side I embossed a rather fun sentiment
I also added a wee strip of the dp across the bottom. It is almost unheard of me to decorate the inside of a card, so I was very pleased with this.

ReplyDeleteLovely card. The colors are so pretty and I love the pop of the flower on the front. Yes, I agree with your sentiment.
ReplyDeleteMaxine a great CASE made even better with your own interpretation!
ReplyDeleteWell it may not have gone exactly how you planned, but it is absolutely lovely Maxine! I love the pretty summer colours, and how you've repeated the image inside! I need to start doing the inside of cards more, and that's a great idea! Hugs, Shannah xox

love the image and design and at least you can say this is your card and not a copy of someone elses but just used the inspiration -must admit I did that once from a mag but didnt have the right papers so used what I had then didn't have the same image so used one of my own-so in effect made a completely different card !!! lol-thanks for joining us at Artistic Inspirations
