Hello Sunshine!

Hello there Journey Friends!

I'm thrilled to pop in today and share a card I created for the Can You Case It? challenge this week. It's a color challenge and I just LOVED the color combo so I had to head to my stamping room and play!

I started out by creating the stamped panel. I used FSJ's new Polkadot Wall stencil. It's a large stencil that works perfectly covering larger areas. I used my finger to apply Pineapple Smoothie ink to the dots. After they were applied, I stamped the Deco Dots ATS all over the image using Butter Cream ink. Next, I applied Butter Cream ink to the solid floral in the Poppy Days set and overstamped that with the lined images using River Stone ink.  

To finish the panel off, I applied a few splatters of Silver Silk, cut the panel in half (so I could make two cards), mounted the panel onto River Stone cardstock, wrapped some Black Journey Twine around it and attached the yellow acrylic bloom (Bloom Benefit with $50.00 purchase!). I also added a circle tag from the Tag This cartridge that I punched using my punch system and then stamped it with the "hello" sentiment from the Tag Elements ATS set.  

After the stamped panels were assembled, I set them aside and started working on my background layer. I used my sewing machine to stitch some meandering lines then attached it to the Summer Days card base. I placed a slightly larger piece of silver polka-dot vellum from Vellum Designer Prints over that to tone down the stitching lines. Mounting the stamped panel was next. I elected to add some foam squares to this panel to add extra dimension.

I hope you enjoyed reading about and seeing my creation. I loved this color combo and can't wait to see what YOU create. Can YOU case it??? Give it a try! See you again soon!
