Well c'mon peeps, it's a Thursday and we all know what that means, right?! Not only is it Friday eve, but.....
...altogether now....
Yay! Time for another CASE study to play along with! I really, really hope you can play along too :D
So as August's Muse, the fabby Makiko Jones has this creation for us to CASE
So I took a good look at the different elements of the card, injected a bit of my own kinda style, and came up with this:
If you can't tell already, the things I decided to CASE were the colours, the flowers, the die cut shape and sponging ink (or in my case, chalk) with my nestie still in place. I love how you can CASE all this, and end up with a completely different style of card! Do you recognise the layout? Well I cheated slightly and used this card to kick my mojo into gear!And yes, this is my attempt at making my own flower embellie with alcohol inks and let me just say that if you're gonna do this, whatever you do WEAR PLASTIC GLOVES! Ask me how I know what happens when you don't *grin* My guy came home to find me looking like I'd committed murder and the darn ink will not budge! And just to add a lil' more drama I've got a wedding to attend tomorrow - eek!
So c'mon peeps, play along because you can CASE anything from Makiko's creation: colours, layout, flowers - ANYTHING! And if you do play along, you could not only win a super Winner badge for your blog or a top 3 blinikie (woot, woot!), one randomly selected participant will win some gorgeous goodies courtesy of Judith Gowdy, an owner of JayGee's Nook!! Judith is giving out a fabulous prize - the winner will have an option to choose one of these fabulous stamp sets: 'Bake Me a Cake' from Lawn Fawn or 'The Whole Cycle' from Practicing Creativity!

Love the subtleness of this card! The leaf on the card base is the perfect touch...
Do you have a hot pink dress to match your fingers? :)!!!
love how your alcohol ink flower turned out.
SWEET card...love it...and p.s. we wanna see pictures of you all dolled up for the wedding and well, your lovely hands...lol.
Love this Aimes! Your shaped card is gorgeous with those vibrant colors! Love that flower!
Cute card Aimes! Love the inspiration that triggered this. I just might get inky a bit later to join in the fun! Have a great day and hope the stains come off your hands sooner then later!
Simply FAB-ulous, Aimes!! Your inspired CAS style inspires me so much!
Fabby card, lovely simplisctic card. Your flower embellishment is so creative. I hope you manage to get the ink off in time for the wedding, have a wonderful day tomorrow :)
Hugs Katie xx
Fabulous flower! Did you try the Isopropyl (rubbing) Alcohol on your fingers? It's working on my shoe! You can try the Vodka too. But I'd make that a last resort. After the wedding and just drink it to forget about your pink fingers!! Just have fun and remind them, or anyone that might mention them, you're an artist.
Just fabulous--love your CAS design! Great idea to use the light colored leaves and bright pop of color with the flower. Hope the finger stains are rapidly fading!!
Both cards are sweet, inspiration and CASE. I like that flower!
oh, love that raspberry flower!!! And you bleed raspberry fizz? nothing wrong with that!! LOL just got back from my 3 day workshop...a bit frazzled, but good:) starting to get a little nervous about the new position and school and parents...you know, that little voice we shouldn't listen to...anyways, I'll survive :) Have a fun time at the wedding...wear a raspberry top and blend in!! LOL
Gorgeous Aimes!! I too learned the hard way to wear gloves when using these inks!
Love your card and your flower is just beautiful,
Love Sarita xx
Love the pop of pink against the turquoise. Fab job Aimes.
Beautiful!
I love this design Amy, you used some great inspiration from Maki's card! The flower is devine- great colour-lol!!! :)
Love the patterns you stamped on the blue cardstock and the fabby pink flower you created! Hope your hands turned out ok!!! Haha!
The colors are my favourite! I just love this card!
CAS and totally FAB! :)
