Hello Friend

I recently discovered a new blog called Case Study and each week they host a new Muse.  This week the spotlight is on Dawn Woleslagle who has a bright and happy style as you can see from the sample card below.  Our challenge this week was to CASE her card and it was by no means an easy task.  I find it hard to use a lot of white space in my cards becasue I tend to fill up the card surface with stuff.  Then I met another card maker online named Victoria Lavender and her digital skills are amazing!  She inspired me to give digital a try when making a card and this is what I came up with.  I started out with a card template in Photoshop and then placed the image in the bottom half and printed it out on Neenah Classic White cardstock and cut into the standard 4.25 x 5.5 size. I then colored the poppies with Copic markers, computer generated the sentiment on vellum and adhered to card with glossy accents. The butterfly was punched with Martha Stewart's butterfly punch on white text paper and then colored to match the poppies.  So....a great big Thank You to Victoria Lavender for the inspiration to try! I am also entering this card in the Flourishes Technique Tuesday by having the word "friend" in the sentiment. Thanks for looking!!
