case study no. 3

The weeks are flying by here and it’s Thursday again. Time for another CASE study project to share with you. I apologize for pretty much dropping off the map this past week. I truly thought that Fall would bring a slower pace to my life. I think perhaps I just need to learn that life with a large family never slows down.

This also brings me to the sentiment on today’s card design…Today is a new day. I’m so glad for each morning when the day arrives fresh and new and full of possibility. I’m so glad that each new day brings the possibility of something wonderful.

For the month of October, a few of my designs have been chosen as inspiration on the CASE study blog. You can find this week’s inspiration and the challenge here.

There are a few things I’ve been inspired by from the original design…

  • layout
  • dotted background
  • a cardstock and stamping focus…no patterned paper

To add extra dimension to the stamped background, I sprinkled the Distress Ink with clear embossing powder while it was still wet. I love the subtle tone on tone shine. While the original design had a smaller image repeatedly stamped to create the background, this card uses a text/circle background stamp which makes it lovely and quick to do.

Supplies:

Happy creating!
