A happy hello to you my friends! I hope you are having a beautiful day! It sounds strange to say but it really feels like fall here in the Midwest. The weather has been cooler lately - going down to the 50's at night and my son is back in school. Cross country season is starting up and I'm looking forward to going to the races and sitting outside in my lawn chair! We always make an event of it - a blanket for the dog and a cooler full of little snacks to much on while we are cheering on our favorite team! Oh and can't forget something to read or a sketch pad!
There's a new challenge at CASE Study posted today. Our muse this month is Jennifer McGuire of Jennifer McGuire Ink! I'm really enjoying all the colorful inspiration! I didn't have to look hard to find something I love about this design either. I'm loving the die cut foliage and the pearl embellishments. So now how to make it my own. I had to do a little digging through my arsenal of die cuts to think of something I could dress up with my own embellishments. I settled on this bird cage and bird with some die cut foliage of my own. I embellished it with flower buttons with pearl centers. I kept with the same color scheme Jennifer used too. 
I'm also posting this on the Poppystamps blog. I can't wait to see what you make for this one! Time to get crankin out some dies!!

This is so striking, Jeanne! Really love the ombre effect of that fabulous DSP, and the red and turquoise really pops! Plus, those buttons and pearls and scalloped edge and... Well, I just love it all!
ReplyDeleteThis is so very dramatic and beautiful. I love how you dressed up that birdcage, and your patterned papers match perfectly. Those pearls make perfect flower centers and bird eyes.
ReplyDeleteHi! Spent too much in the last couple of days getting Facebook set up and got behind on comments! I peeked at this earlier & loved how you used the colors. The birdcage is fabulous and all the details are perfect, as always!
