CASE A CARD

What exactly does it means to CASE a project in the craft world? When we CASE a project it is said that you copy and share everything. Today I decided to share with you a card that I CASED from our annual Stampin' Up! catalog.




This is just one of Stampin' Up! endless project ideas that they provide. They used the "On to Adventure" and "Tropical Chic" stamp set to create this card. If you find coloring relaxing this is a card for you.




I created a two part youtube tutorial in creating this card. The 1st video is how I did the coloring of the lovely couple. Learn techniques on how to use water color pencils and alcohol markers. 





Part two of this video tutorial is how the card came together. 



Thanks for stopping by and I hope you got some inspirational ideas.
