It's time for a new Heart 2 Heart challenge, and this week we are inviting you to CASE one of the design team's cards. How incredibly fun is that? A card, layout, or altered project that is copying the style of one of the design team's projects.
When I think about my style, I don't know if I can define it. When I create pages, I definitely lean more toward clean lines. I like looking at a page where the picture is the very first focal point. However, when I create cards and altered items, I like lots of "stuff." Now I don't always create like that because well, let's face it - those cards are expensive to mail. But I do so love to create that way! So that's what I am sharing today with you.
This paper, stamp, and chipboard are from the May CTMH special - You & Me. I love the colors of the paper, and I love that stamp set. I dyed the paper flowers by soaking them in a mixture of water and bamboo re-inker. Then I very lightly spritzed them with a mixture of pearl paint and water. I could have done this all in one step by mixing pearl paint, re-inker, and water in my spray pen, but I really love the effect that flowers have when they are soaked. The chipboard (banner, leaves and corner element) is embossed so I sponged over them to give them color.
I hope that you will come and play along this week. Remember, you have all month to play with any or all of our challenges!
