CASE Study 159

Has anyone noticed that I'm obsessed with CASE Study Challenges this month! That's because I've discovered an amazing designer - Kathy Racoosin and I absolutely love her style! This is the last CSC challenge with Kathy as the muse this month and I could not make any other cards until I've done this one. Here is my card and the CSC159 card after that. Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients

Neenah Solar White and Desert Storm card, Papertrey Ink Lovely Layers and Bows and Ribbons, Hero Arts Navy midtone ink, MFT Fishtail layers STAX, Sizzix Tim Holtz embossing folder, American Crafts brad, Hemp from Hemtique, white gel pen.

Casing Kathy Racoosin Take 4!

I've really enjoyed casing Kathy Racoosin at the CASE Study Challenges this month. She has made me step outside my comfort zone and taken me to another level in paper crafting, so Thank You Very Much Kathy and CSC!! The card for CSC159 has repeated stamping and layered fishtail die cuts. I went looking for the original card which Kathy posted last year to find out how she did it. I actually quite like her case of that card posted on CSC159 and decided to make that instead. If I have more time on the weekend, I might case the original card. Here is my card with her two case cards below that. I'm also submitting this card to Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge as the dies and embossing folder are available from SSS. I may send this card to Paper Crafts' 2013 World Card Making Contest - Thank You Category. Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients:

Neenah Solar White, Bazzill Cardstock, Spellbinders Nestabilities Squares, Memory Box Chloe Die, Sizzix Tim Holtz Barked EF, Hero Arts CL574 Say It All, Versamark, White EP

Casing Kathy Racoosin - Take 3!

It's been a fun month of challenges at CASE Study Challenge. It has made me colour with Copic markers! I have decided to combine the challenge with the Papertrey Ink's Make It Mondays - Layered Border Diecuts challenge. I don't have any border diecuts from PTI so I used the MFT scallop die cuts instead. I have really challenged myself with this card as I have been wanting to try the layered border technique and the Copic colouring for so long! Just needed that little bit of a nudge!!
I'm also submitting this card to Moxie Fab World Handmade Cards Week Colour Media Challenge.

Edited to add:
This card was a winner for CSC158! Yay!!

CASE Study - Kathy Racoosin2

After having such fun last week with CASE Study Challenge, I had to join in with Challenge 157 this week. At the last Craft Show I attended, one of my last purchases before I left was a packet of chevron ribbon in three colours. When I saw Kathy Racoosin's CASE card, I was very happy I picked the right colour! I'm also entering this card to Moxie Fab World's In Transition challenge and Paper Smooches Guest Designer search. Thanks for dropping by! Woohoo, two cards in one weekend!!

Notice the patterned vellum paper and the matching ribbon!

Casing Kathy Racoosin

I was very excited when I saw this week's Case Study Challenge. The Case card is beautifully painted along with Kathy Racoosin's card. I usually don't do a lot of colouring and I have very limited Copic markers. When I finally received my prize this year from Australian Simply Cards from Cardmaker of the Year competition, I was very excited to receive a set of Ciao Copic markers. I have only used the black marker so far! So tonight I decided to give it a go after being inspired by Kathy. Here is my card made with the limited number of markers in the set. I used Kathy's white dots technique to highlight the petals. I'm submitting this to the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger - Honouring Ombre challenge as well. Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients
Neenah Solar white, Express Card for Copics, Momento Tuxedo Black, Hero Arts Striped Flower and It's Your Day CL661, Copics markers, POSCA marker, Kaisercraft pearls and rhinestones.
