Case Study #80 and For Your Inspiration #25

It's been awhile since I have done a Case Study challenge, not intentional, just life gets in the way of creativity at times.  But one of my favourite card makers is this months muse, so had to join in.  Laura Bassen has a lovely clean style that I very much admire and aspire to.  



Here is my take on her card.  I have stayed with the heart motif and most of the colours (just couldn't fit blue in).  




What you need
Cardstock - PTI white
Patterned paper - PTI 2008 Bitty Dot Basics
Stamps - PTI Heart Prints
Ink - Memento Rich Cocoa;  SU Lucky Limeade, Regal Rose, Peach Parfait
Gems - Kaisercraft

For my second card I deliberately went CAS and when you see the photo you will know why.


So impossibly beautiful and serene.  So, for me, I have chosen predominantly white with a touch of blue and pink



What you need
Cardstock - BB textured white;  SU white, ? Pacific Point
Stamps - PTI Turning a New Leaf, Mega Mixed Messages
In - Memento Bahama Blue;  PTI Melon Berry
Punch - SU
Gems - Kaisercraft

  6. Wow, you have been a whirlwind this weekend! All wonderful cards. The "Anything Goes" card is C-squared (Clean and Cute!), the bird card is stunning (love that white on white look with just a touch of color), and the CASE card rises to the challenge beautifully. Those stepped up and down hearts in those colors and patters work perfectly together!
