more case-ing - then case-ing a case!

haha - that title is so confusing!!

this card was originally done by Alisa Tilsner

This is my version minus the ribbon and the inked edges. It uses eastern blooms stamp set with occasional greetings, and bali breeze paper. cardstock and ink are tempting turquoise and old olive.
Then, here's my case of the case!

This card uses the same colours as this card for the kwernerdesign challenge. I love them together and can see myself doing lots more!

The stamps are embrace life, and occasional greetings.

The flower from embrace life is stamped on to DSP and cut out. The ribbon is 5/8 inch choclate chip grosgrain. I don't normally like that size, but it works for this.

Challenge numbers 2 and 3!

well, my little goal to get out of my comfort zone seems to be working - this weeks kwerner challenge had the colour combination of ruby red, pumpkin pie, pretty in pink and whisper white. I love pumpkin and ruby, but throwing in that pink really makes it tricky! I first tried the day the challenge went up, but could NOT get it, but I was determind to do it! then I figured, GET HELP!! and went to the NZSU blog, and there was a layout from mojomonday, and I thought hmmm, this could work! It's not exactly right, but the basic idea is there.

So, here's my attempt. I'm still not sure about it, but I got the challenge done, and I think that is half the battle for me!

stamps: Eastern blooms, short and sweet

cardstock: pretty in pink, pumpkin pie, whisper white, ruby red

ink: ruby red, pumpkin pie
