I was recently impressed by a card I saw on face book made by a lady called Linda Parker who funnily enough doesn't live a million miles away from me.
After a nice long chat on Facebook with Linda I told her I wanted to CASE her card and she told me to go a head. So Studied her card for a few moments then went to my craft room and made the card as I had remembered it.
When I had finished I went back to Linda's card to compare with mine.
Ummm it's very close, but not that close.
I forgot Linda had put loads of butterflies on hers , I forgot the colours of the layers, the brads and I think she may even of had ribbon and a different sentiment on hers.
In fact I think the only things I remembered well were the stamps and inks she had used .
So I ended up with a card very similar but not exactly the same.
I think this card stood out for me because it is my favourite stamp set from Stampin up and it's called stippled blossoms and it's a two step stamp set and I adore the two step stamps. I also loved the colour combination Linda used.
I think I still prefer Linda's card.
And Linda if you are reading this THANKS for letting me CASE your card.
Lo and behold - I only saw this today !! Wow Laura you did a fine job there. I loved making that card and really miss my Stippled Blossoms. I think I may have to visit Ebay to see if I can find them. Should never have sold them :(
ReplyDeleteThe stippled blossoms stamp set is one set of stamps I will never sell....I use it too often to let it go. I must say Linda I was very surprised when I saw you were selling your set.
