CASE-ING CHRISSIE

I think I had a slight brain cramp this week! I didn't focus on the fact that there are actually 5 weeks in July, so I thought I was finished with my Guest Design slot with Just Us Girls. But here I am a bit late for a 5th one! This one is #643 Wild Card Week - "Case a Designer", in which we are instructed to Case a card from one of our favorite designers.

I chose Chrissie Stokes (https://simply-one-of-a-kind.blogspot.com/) because I LOVE her spare CAS style. She has so many beautiful cards that it was hard to make a choice! This is my take on her design from May 3, 2022:

This is her original design:

While I pretty much followed the same layout, my paper and dies are hardly as elegant as the ones she used - her work always humbles me! Mine is done with standard white 110 lb cardstock. I used a Penny Black #51-423 "Airy" die instead of a fern frond, and a Lawn Fawn sentiment die. I didn't have any delicate butterfly dies, so opted for stamping, coloring, and fussy cutting one from my stash. And finally, I added tiny clear gemstones. I do hope Chrissie can forgive me for my clumsier copy of her very elegant card!

So, if you too want to be humbled, try a run at copying one of your favorite designer's works and share it with us here!
