Welcome back to another challenge at The Spot, your place for inspiration and weekly cardmaking challenges.
This week we have a great CASE the Designer Challenge and are spotlighting to gorgeous work of design team member Jay Soriano of Mitosu Crafts. What's so fun about this type of challenge is that you get to peruse all of his gorgeous cards and pick one to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit).
I picked this pretty floral creation that he created using the Gorgeous Posies Stamp Set.
The Mini Calatlogue is jammed packed with so many stunning stamps, bundles, papers and embellishments, but one of my "must haves" was the Pretty Perennials Stamp and Die Bundle and this challenge was the prefect excuse to break it open. There are many things that I love about Jay's original card that I choose to carry over to my version. I kept the look of a lot of white space and the repetitive stamping of a large floral bloom in the background. For my card I went with a colour combo of Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry inks with a splash of Night of Navy and changed the orientation to a portrait design.
People make and give cards for many reasons, but I think one of the most important ones is to let others know we are here. We see them, we love them and recognize them not only through the celebrations in life, but in the hard times too. The Heal Your Heart Stamp Set in the Sale-a-bration Catalogue is hands down, one of my favorite stamp sets. The mixed fonts are perfection and it just has all the right words and phrases.
What I especially love about this set is that there are sentiments for both the front and inside of the card. As you can see with my card I mixed them up a little and put the larger of the two inside, as well as used the phrase on the outside that was intended to go with "sorry for your loss" But for the intended purpose of my card it fit perfectly with the sentiment I chose.
Now be sure to check out The Spot for some fabulous inspiration, and I hope you can join in on the challenge!
