Global Design Project Challenge 164 - CASE the designer

It is time for another Global Design Project Challenge and this week we are CASEing the beautiful card from the talented Louise Sharp. Here is her design:



When you CASE (copy and selectively edit) someone's design you take the elements from their design and use them in own creation. In this challenge I used the layout of this card to create a Christmas card using the Candy Cane Season Bundle. With only 5 weeks to go until Christmas I need to make a start on my Christmas cards and send them off in time. I'm so not prepared!



I created a background image using the holly and berry stamps, stamped in pear pizzazz and cherry cobbler ink, in a random pattern.  I used the stamping off technique to stamp the all the elements on the card so that the images were not too bold.
To add some texture I used the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, this is one of my favourite embossing folders.



Have you started making your Christmas Cards yet? There are so many beautiful Christmas themed products in the holiday and annual catalogues, its hard to choose a favourite. Along with all the stamps, dies, punches, papers and card stock there are some kits available such as the Timeless Tidings Project Kit which co-ordinates with the Timeless Tidings stamp set to make your Christmas Card making quick and easy.

Happy crafting! Suzanne xx
