Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Alison Solven


Today we are Blog Hopping with talented Alison Solven from Canada.
We had to pick a card from the great selection of cards Alison has made and CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) one of them.
I went over to Alison's blog at -  http://stampcrazy.typepad.com
and also her Pinterest page.  If you are stuck for ideas, pop on over and have a look - there are so many wonderful cards to inspire you.

The one I chose to CASE was this one:

I really liked the original stamp set and dies this is made with.

For my take on this card,I decided to use clusters of flowers in a variety of colours.  I used new colours Lovey Lipstick, Petal Pink, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana.

The stamp set I used was the Beautiful Bouquet with the sentiment from a couple of different sets.





I love the fresh, bright look of the finished card with plenty of white space to rest your eye.  A couple of  Share What You Love Artisan Pearls finishes it off.


I mounted it on Lovely Lipstick and Balmy Blue card but I tried several combos that all worked nicely.  This is a card you could adapt to the colours you have on hand, with a sentiment to suit any occasion.

Why don't you give it a go!!

Don't forget to check out what the other Crazy Crafters have created by jumping onto their blogs.

"Til next time
Keep creating!

    That's just gorgeous! Love the colours, layout and the way you've popped up part of the sentiment on dimensionals!

    Love how you cut out " friend". It gives more depth to the design. I will try that.

      Thanks Sue. The colours were slightly accidental but give a bit of a vintage vibe, I think - not what I would usually go for!

    Oh, My, Shirley, I almost CASED this card, but I was determined to use the #loveitchopit #imnotapaperhorderanymore.

    I love your card it is so bright and crisp with the white space. I adore your decision in Stamp Set and Colour Combo.
    You CASED Alison's card perfectly.
