It seems I have a lot of friends with summer birthdays. That is awesome though, because we have such great summery stamp sets. For today’s card, I have CASED the catalog. CASE can be defined a couple of ways. It originally was Copy And Share Everything. I like to thing of it as Copy the idea, layout, stamp set, then make it your own – then Share.
I CASED this from page 13 of the annual catalog. I used the same products, just didn’t stamp the same and changed the sentiment.
I stamped the sunflowers with Crumb Cake Ink on Crumb Cake Card Stock. I then used something I cannot even remember when I used it last. I colored with the Watercolor Pencils! I colored the flowers with a couple of different orange, yellow and white using the Blender Pen after each color. I remember when the watercolor pencils were the main coloring method. It was nice to break them out again.
The sentiment is stamped using Versamark Ink on Soft Suede Card stock. I used White Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool to emboss the sentiment. The bow is a couple of strands of linen thread. Even though you cannot see it from the photo, the strands of thread are wrapped around the card beneath the sentiment as well.
For a finishing touch, I added a few of the Elegant Faceted Gems. These are so pretty. They are very soft colors where most of the dots and gems are pretty bold. I felt like soft went well with this card.
