CASEing Bobby

Hi everyone.  Today I'm CASEing Bobby (bits and pieces).  I have long been a fan of Bobby's CAS style.  She also has a uniquely creative way of interpreting challenges. I saw THIS CARD on Bobby's blog a while ago, and have been thinking about it ever since. :)  Thought it was time for me to make one of my own. :)

I changed it up slightly.  Bobby had debossed the background iris, where I used a white die-cut.  And I used distress inks to watercolour my iris, instead of Brushos. Thanks so much Bobby for the inspiration!

I die-cut the iris from both watercolour paper and white card stock.  As I mentioned, I used distress inks to watercolour my iris and then layered it over top of the white die-cut in the background.  A simple stamped sentiment and a few sequins for sparkle and the card was done.


I hope you'll find some time to check out Bobby's blog ... I know you will have fun there!

I'm playing along with the latest CAS-ology challenge - Bud.

Such a fabulous take on Bobby's card, which is amazing with the brusho's. Love the delicate colours you've achieved with the distress inks and the die cut underneath looks great and also love the sentiment stamped in the violet colour x

Wonderful use of the iris die, Loll. Mine is still in my NBUS box so should pull it out for Darnell's upcoming challenge. Love the way you layered it twice and the gorgeous colours you used.

So pretty Loll. Love blue iris, we had a lovely clump next to the stream in our old house and I miss their intense blue colour. :)

This looks beautiful, Loll (and makes me want to get that die)! How clever to switch the debossing to a white die cut!

Your iris is to die for Loll, love the white one behind, such a clever idea xx

BożenA said...

Wonderful iris flower. With admiration I look at how you added colors, as beautifully shaded flower petals. Adding a white shadow is a brilliant solution, adding expression to the card.

Why am I just seeing this now, Loll? I knew I was behind in viewing my emails and I have been going back and commenting but I must have skipped over this one. Thanks so much for the shout out,my friend, and for CASEing my card. I'm glad I could inspire you for once as you continually inspire me. How's this for ironic? You CASE my card for the CASology challenge and I end up winning with my card.
