OCC CASE Challenge

The Our Creative Corner gals decided to have a mid-week challenge just for fun. The challenge is to pick out a card from one of the OCC Girls and CASE it. {Links to the blogs of each of the OCC girls are on the right side bar.} There's a giveaway with the cutest snowman papers EVER, so be sure to check out all the details on the OCC Blog.

For the challenge, I chose to CASE this card by Cindy Haffner. I think I've been a fan of Cindy's as long as I've been on Splitcoast. Back when I still had time to do the daily challenges, I faithfully ogled each and every one of her creations each day on the challenge threads. In fact, I think her work has done more to enable my craft spending than any other stamper I know. :) I so admire her style which is well layered, perfectly embellished, detailed... and BEAUTIFUL!

Well, this card was a little more involved than I usually go, but it was a lot of fun to make. I wanted to use a card with a tag, since it's the last day to enter Laura's Meet The Verve Divas challenge to use a tag on your project. The designer paper is from the Fancy Pants The Daily Grind collection. The pieces on the card used both the classic and scalloped rectangles, the classic and scallop squares, and a tag die all from Nestabilities. The Tangerine Tango background is embossed with the Spots and Dots folder and the bottom edge is punched with the SU! scallop border punch. The blue matting is Pacific Point. I stamped the flower circle from Abundant Blessings in Tangerine Tango and then sponged the edges with So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango. The tag is stamped with the So Happy sentiment set and then chalked with Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Stampin' Pastels. The ribbon is Soft Sky double stitched ribbon and I layered two primas from my stash. I finished off with tons of little dots with my Signo white gel pen, some orange bling and some Stardust Stickles on my main image.

Okay, thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a fantastic day!
