Hi everyone. Today I'm CASE'ing (copy and share everything) a card made by my friend, Karen (Snippets). She is a very talented stamper who brings her love of gardening to a lot of her beautiful cards. She also incorporates wonderful techniques into her CAS cards ... I especially am in awe of her watercoloring - just amazing! This week, Karen has been chosen as the Featured Stamper for the CAS challenge at Splitcoaststampers (CAS#280). It gave me a chance to CASE one of her beautiful cards (and this is a total case --- I only changed up the background embossing folder and sentiment!).
Congrats Karen ... I hope you enjoy your special week - you deserve it!! :)
In CASE'ing Karen's card, I followed her instructions, including going out to my garden and snipping off some fern leaves to use as a stamp for the design on the tag. I ink up the fern leaves with distress inks, lightly sprayed with water, and then pressed them into watercolor paper. It was lots of fun! :) I pulled strands from the burlap strip to give it a frayed edge. I used the strands for the strings at the top of the tag.
Reminder, this card is another example of mixed media for the new Mixed Media Card Challenge #1 (Touch of Nature - optional element: tag). I hope you'll join in the fun!

Wow, both cards are awesome!! I love Karen's card, and I love your card Loll, yours is just as pretty as Karen's. I love that fern watercolor stamped on the tag, the splatters are great and I love the embossing and burlap. It is so neat how a card can be CAS'd but look different but the same just by changing up a stamp and embossing folder. I just love both cards! Hugs, Brenda
Very cool! I love the design you have used here. All that texture is to die for! You little tag with a real life fern used for stamping - genius! xx
What a fab card Loll, love the way you brought the garden into the craft room! x
Wowzers! Love the burlap and the water color effect on the fern, Amazing card :)
Fern stamping, Loll? Wow, what a stunning effect ... gorgeous against the burlap and yummy woodgrain embossing! Anita :)
Oh my! I loved the previous w/c card, but I'm head over heels with this one. It is drop down gorgeous. Love the white with the nature colors, and all that fantastic texture. A wonderful design to show all the loveliness too. TFS
