Hi there! After all the Christmas crazinness everything begins to come back to normal, and that includes bringing back my Case a Card Monday (CACM) weekly feature. Today, I bring you a beautiful card by no other than Virginia Lu! Virginia is one of the warmest, kindest and most encouraging crafters I've ever known. And look at this true beauty she created:
And here's my CASE. I don't own the gorgeous Hero Arts starburst stamps, so I used a doily one instead which I was completely unable to ink evenly on just one layer, lol! Both the pearls and the twine were custom colored with Copics.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!
Supplies: Cardstock: De la Riva (white), Bazill (kraft); Stamps: Hero Arts; Ink: Memento, Versafine, Copics; Other: PTI button, Basic Grey pearls, Prisma glitter, twine.
Oh. my. gosh!! I am SO VERY honored to be CASED by the talented YOU, Lorena! I ADORE the vibrant colors that you chose and the pop-up dimension is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I'm so happy that my simple card has inspired you in some creative ways :) Sending HUGS! xoxoxo

DARLING cards by BOTH of you girls. Sure is a great idea using an actual doily! That is a darling image that Hero sells of the doily, isn't it? GREAT COLORS and design work on BOTH of your cards. How nice to feature, Virginia. She is talented and I can see that YOU are, too.
Love, Karen
