This card is for the photo inspiration challenge over at Jay Gees Nook which is a wonderful montage of items in shades of purple and the smart welly boot in the centre just had to be part of my card !
... and whilst looking through my well thumbed copy of Stamp It magazine I saw this card by Meg Craig which I had also seen on her blog Corgi Creations here , I really love all Meg's creations and I just had to use this same design ......
Megs Wonderful card
My dubious CASE
I say dubious because I don't know how similar it has to be to call it a CASE??
The sentiment didn't look right in the white space at the bottom so I've left it as that...white space .... and put the sentiment at the top, that's what I'm not sure about!
The wellies are from a PTI set called Green Thumb and I've used the masking method to get them one behind the other, the clouds are cut using a MFT die-namics die and the white panel is stamped with the Hero Arts Envelope Pattern Bkgd stamp ... oh and the sentiment is from the same stamp set, love that saying , it's almost as good as Billy Connolly's quip "There's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes!"
Well thanks for looking today, I have one scheduled post for this weekend as we are away camping and my mojo seems to have gone ahead of me on holiday this week! Must be the stress of finding and organising equipment that we haven't used for a few years and have packed and unpacked in a house move since !!!
I will hopefully return refreshed, but knowing us and camping , a bit soggy!
I have just returned with Hannah from collecting her exam results and she has two A's for Biology and Psychology at AS level and an A for Maths at A level (she's taking double maths which is in effect taking two A levels in two years instead of one). We are so proud of her, she's one smart cookie :)
Catch you next week with some photos of our weekend, bye X
What a great CASE Jenny, love the purple wellies! I think the sentiment looks good at the top too. Thanks so much for joining us at Jay Gee's :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Hannah.
Fab CASE Jenny! Those polka dot wellies are awesome (especially in purple) and I am definitely going to have to borrow the negative cloud image idea if you don't mind. It looks amazing! Hope you have a wonderful time camping, it's always so stressful getting ready for holidays... but it is sooo nice once you are there.
ReplyDeleteFantastic CASE!!!! Love the boots and sentiment! Have a fantastic weekend - stay dry ;). We leave for a week Saturday - looking forward to getting away!
ReplyDeleteJust stunning Jenny - and a perfect CASE. Have a fun camping trip.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great CASE, but sch a unique twist of your own. Love those purple boots!
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a perfect CASE card. I, too, often wonder how close to the original I can get when I do this. My goodness, you are right to be proud of Hannah - great results.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Hannah! Your card is so fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! Can you tell I'm blushing over here? I'm so glad my card inspired you to make this awesome wellie one! The purple is awesome and I love how you left the white space at the bottom and added the border--can I case a case? ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fantastic and relaxing time on your camping trip and give a high five to Hannah for me for those awesome scores! Math chicks rock! :)
Wow Jenny .. .. your daughter has done really well!!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you are proud of her .. .. she must have worked really hard to get such brilliant results.
Loving your card. I like the "cut out" cloud spaces and the sentiment alongside your boots made me smile.
I hope you have a lovely few days away and that the weather will be kind to you.
Love Jules xx
