Wrong Impression + Wrong Side of Cardstock = Happy Results!

Hey!

Can't believe it's Friday Eve and September already! My final week of the summer holidays is nearly over *sob* Best make the most of it and squeeze in as much inky time as possible - the chores can wait, right?! *wink*

You know the drill. Friday Eve here on my blog means one thing:

Time for another CASE study :)

We loved partying with you last month for our anniversary celebrations and now it's September we're back to our usual schedule. So this means we've got a new muse! How exciting! I have to say that I've been following this month's muse for a loooooooong time - I love her style! So without further ado, our muse for this month is Julie Lacey!

Up for our first CASE study with Julie is this stunning card:

You can check out the original of this card here!

Oh. My. Word. Green and birdies?! A lovey, dovey card for a guy?! This CASE study was totally up my street so it didn't take much to get inky and busy:

Now before you ask yourself - what inspired her to impress that pattern into her cardstock? I had my impression plate the wrong way around in my cuttlebug - D'oh! But seeing as I'd done all the hard work stamping out that panel, and even though I'd ended up impressing the wrong pattern on the wrong side of the cardstock - I didn't actually mind that subtle plaid effect which was my end result. I even think it adds a little more masculinity to the card and I'm pretty sure y'all probably sick of seeing my linen impression plate stealing the limelight all the time *wink*

So that's my take on this week's CASE study, what about yours? We'd love to see what inspires you from Julie's card and share the creative adventure it takes you on :)

Need more inspiration? Then why not check out our most fabby CASE study DT! Although it's sad to see Sue leave us, the bright side is that we get a new member to add to our li'l family! Please welcome, Teresa Kline!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I've gotta dash to make the most of my last few days of freedom *wink*
