Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest - Shannon Lane

Welcome and thank you for joining me in a special Crazy Crafters team blog hop.

We are hopping with a special guest - Canadian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Shannon Lane who is a member of the Artisan Design Team again this year. Such an inspiration!

The theme of this blog hop was to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) one of Shannon's cards.


Here are the cards of Shannon's that I chose to CASE:

Here are my versions:

Flower coloured with Sweet Sugarplum & Peekaboo Peach inks using sponge daubers

 Flower coloured with Flirty Flamingo & Peekaboo Peach inks using a blender pen

Flower coloured with Sweet Sugarplum & Peekaboo Peach inks using a blender pen

The first version I created, I coloured my flower using the emboss resist technique and sponge daubers. I decided to create 2 more cards trying out the colouring using blender pens instead to see how that would change the look of the flowers. The flowers coloured with the blender pen, I feel have a softer look to them.

I am a bit of a Washi Tape collector and always have difficultly in finding ways to use it on my cards. Well, I have used heaps on my cards and I really love how they turned out. I think I'll be using this layout in the future to help reduce my significant washi collection.

To add some bling like in Shannon's cards, I have used some Gold thread and sequins on my Sweet Sugarplum cards and Silver thread and sequins on my Flirty Flamingo card.

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my creations.

If you enjoyed my cards, it would make my day if you left me a comment.
