Chicklet CASE Study


Hi everybody! This month I'm honored to be the guest muse over at the Case Study challenge blog! Each Thursday in March they'll be challenging you to be inspired by and loosely CASE a given card of mine.  There's usually a pretty cool prize, so I hope you'll play along with us!

This week, we're CASE-ing this shabby little card I made during my last trip to Laurie's.  Her craft room is so inspiring and I remember having so much fun laughing with her while I made this card using Joy for the Journey and the Vintage Oval stamp and die.  You can read more about the inspiration card on my original post.

For the remake I was inspired by the colors (a very Vervey combo), the layered punches and dies, as well as the diagonal ribbon.  My original card was made as a sneak peek of Verve's October release and today's card is a sneak peek of our March release that's coming up this Friday!


This little chicklet is from the Chicks Rule set the Divas will be previewing on Friday.  Yep, I got all mixed up on my days, so you're getting an extra sneaky peeky!  Good thing  I'm the owner, or I might be in trouble!  {wink}  Charley (yep, that's her name) is colored with prismacolor pencils and gamsol, then I trimmed her out, along with her little scepter and glued the crown on top, adding some turquoise pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty.  She's on a crumb cake background stamped with the title sentiment from the Chicks Rule set.

There's also a few new die sets releasing Friday, and a couple showed up on this card.  The Charming Oval and Charming Banner Die sets can be layered together and were designed to fit many of the sentiments in our Phrases line of stamps.  Here I thought the Princess of Quite a Lot from Munchkin Phrases was the perfect fit.  These layered dies are matted with the SU! scallop oval punch, then I added a mini rosette fit for a princess behind it all.  I finished off with some silk ribbon and a bit of bling.

Okay, that's all for this post, be sure to check out these inspired creations by the CASE Study Design team...

I think our cat thinks that sentiment belongs to him (he'll just change it up to prince LOL!). Love the duckie on the medallion. Great card.
