Hi everyone and happy monday! Today I'm very excited to introduce a new feature/series/weekly post here on my little blog. A bit of history first: one of the first artists that wowed me and hooked me on cardmaking when I discovered the paper crafting world was Kristina Werner. To the day I still follow her work (that awesome videos!) and amaze at her talent and true gift for design. And as you may know, every week she offers us a video under the title "Make a Card Monday". So when lately I've been thinking of creating a couple of fix weekly spots, it came to my mind that I could make a "Case a Card Monday"! It will consist in creating a card inspired or "cased/lifted" (with credits, of course!) in another designer's card each monday. What do you think?
And of course, my first CACM had to be from one of Kristina's fabby creations. Here's her card (from this years Holiday Card Series that I highly recommend you to watch!).
And here's mine:
I also used and colored (with Copics) a Hero Arts reindeer, but mine's from this set. Love the one in her card! I used too a music background stamp (mine is from Prima) and heat embossed it with clear powder. The white heat embossed sentiment is from this Hero Arts set, the paper is October Afternoon and the scalloped circle was cut from a PTI die.
So, I hope you like my CACM's and as always thanks so much for visiting!
Supplies: Cardstock: (white, black) De la Riva; Stamps: Hero Arts, Prima; Ink: Memento, Versamark, Copics; Patterned Paper: October Afternoon; Other: Clear embossing powder, PTI Limitless Layers die, Uniball Signo white gel pen, Hero Arts rhinestone, Corner Chomper.
Kristina is also one of my fav!!! You do have her fab touch and it so shows in this cheery, jolly card. That deer is just too adorable here!!!
