Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Case the Team

Well hello my lovely cardmakers out there, welcome to the

Blog Hop for March, this month we were asked to CASE each other.

To CASE in crafting community can mean different things - Copy and Share Everything, Copy and Selectively Edit, Copy and Steal Everything, obviously I prefer the first 2 to the last one.  I love to credit those who have inspired me.  As someone wisely said, "there is nothing new under the sun".  All our art and creations have been influenced and inspired by others.  Even when we think we have hit on an original idea, you may discover that someone else has too.

Anyway, on with the crafting.  I decided to CASE a card by Barry from Mitosu crafts.  It's called the Floating Side Panel card, and his tutorial can be found {HERE}

I took the measurements and created this.

I used the Thoughtful Expressions stamps and Dies 162822 that are in the Stampin' Up! Mini catalogue.  The whole suite is beautiful and a joy to work with.

I stamped the large floral stamp with Petal Pink ink on the same coloured card stock and used that as the background layers and stuck them onto the Gray Granite card base.  The bird was stamped with Coastal Cabana ink on Pool Party card stock and large flower clusters with Calypso Coral ink on the same coloured card stock.  

I particularly like how the flower die can be placed on the flower image to add some dimension.

The hummingbird wings was layered to give an impression of flight, and the Iridescent Pearls 158987 were a lovely finishing touch to the flower centres.

To see how I made the card you can watch this tutorial

Thank you so much for looking at my card, here are the other hoppers, I am looking forward to seeing what they create.
