| My CASE of Allison Okamitsu's card - suitable for a teenager |
This is my CASE of Allison's beautiful, bright and cheery card. It's a little bit more subdued and I had a teenager in mind.
The base card is Night of Navy followed by a layer of Sweet Sugarplum paper from the Petal Garden Designer Series Pack. While we're on the subject of papers - I cut a couple of little strips from a piece of the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper and put them either side of my Brusho background.
The Brusho background was a bit of an experiment. I sprinkled Red, Blue and Yellow Brusho Crystals onto a folded baby wipe and spritzed with water. Then I sort of swiped it randomly over some Watercolor Paper (at the same time I also experimented on a piece of Glossy White cardstock and I'll show you that piece soon).
I stamped the shoe image with Basic Black ink onto a piece of the background that I had trimmed off and then used a small brush with some Smoky Slate and Whisper White Craft Ink to finish the colouring and shading. I fussy cut the shoes (but I drew the line at trying to cut out the laces!) and adhered them to the oval panel cut with one of the Stitched Shapes Framelits.
The oval panel is cut from Smoky Slate cardstock and sponged with Pool Party ink. I then sponged a border with Whisper White Craft Ink.
The greeting from Guy Greetings is White heat embossed onto Night of Navy cardstock and cut with one of the dies from the Bunch of Banners Framelit set.
Behind the focal panel is a piece of the luscious Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon.
