Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest Lea Denton

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

We are hopping with a special guest - The creative Lea Denton from the United Kingdom.

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

After finally picking a favourite card of Lea's to CASE (as there were a few I was trying to choose from), I had my card all planned out and even started making it. Then I completely changed my mind mid-card, as I now needed to make a sympathy card (a card type that is always difficult to make) and ended up choosing a different card of Lea's for my inspiration.

Here is the card of Lea's that I ended up choosing to CASE:

Here is my version:

I stamped the flower image and sentiment, both from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set, in Night of Navy. It is a little hard to see, but I added some subtle sparkle to the flowers using clear Wink of Stella. The flower buds have had pearl jewels placed on top for a little extra special touch.

The card front background is a piece of DSP from the Floral Boutique series (that is retiring soon). I have used the thin pattern die from the Flourishing Thinlits set, cut in Night of Navy, in place of the ribbon that Lea used.

I decorated the inside using another of the dies from the Flourishing Thinlits set, and a follow up sentiment to the one on the front of my card. To make the card liner stand out a little, I have used my Night of Navy ink and a sponge dauber to lightly colour the edges.

A lovely and soft card for a not so happy occasion, which I am sure will be appreciated by my recipient. Hope you like it too.

Thanks so much for your support and for visiting me today :)
