Well last week dragged, but this week is zoomin' by!!! Can't believe it's Friday Eve already, but I'm so glad you stopped by because we all know what Friday Eves (aka Thursdays) mean:
That's right! Time for a new CASE study! Now can I just say that my jaw literally dropped and hit the keyboard when I saw the card up for this week's CASE study. Mariana Grigsby sure knows how to create a jaw-droppingly gorgeous card and this one is a prime example of it:
*swoon* not only my fave kinda image, (butterflies) but check out the kraft-a-licious lovin' on this creation! I was so inspired and ready for this CASE study that I got busy with what little inky time I could squeeze in over the nights after work, and created this:
Apologies for the poor pic: daylight is fading so fast after work now that I'm struggling to find a good place to take a decent pic!
I'm really hoping you can tell what I CASEd here LOL!
Once again this is a li'l card measuring about 2.75 x 3.5. I find with less time to get inky at the mo, it's much easier to start with a smaller canvas (and it's great for a frugal papercrafter like myself too *wink*)
You just know that I'm hoping you can find a few inky moments to play along too! Our sponsor this week is the Pixiepetals Etsy store which has the most sweetest embellishments for sale!
Need more inspiration? Then look no futher than the awesome CASE Study DT of which I'm so honoured to be a part of that I have to pinch myself!
