CASE Study

Wow, Thursday already!!

Time for another CASE Study challenge...

I used one of my newest stamps for this card - it's a

Unity itty bitty stamp, and I love it.

I had this idea to use a page out of the phonebook, so I went in

search of a phonebook.  Problem was, we didn't have one!!!

I had to bring an old one home from work!

Card details:

Stamps: Call Me - itty bitty from Unity

Paper: Real Red, White, phonebook page

Ink: Versafine black, ranger distress antique linen

Misc: rhinestones

Time for another beautiful card from this months muse...

Silke Ledlow

Now it's your turn, if you haven't played with us before, its very simple. Just get some inspiration from Silke's card (above): It can be the colors, layout, techniques, or whatever, and use it on your sample. You could also CASE the entire thing. In other words, there really aren't any rules except to have fun!

Be sure to check out everything the wonderful

CASE Study DT has done this week.....they always amaze me with their talent!
