Case Study Challenge with Danielle Flanders!

Good morning – today is a very exciting day on my wee blog because for the month of February – I’m guest designing over at the Case Study Challenge hosted by the very lovely Iwona (Chupa)!!  I was thrilled when I was asked but then when I found out who this month’s muse was I was ecstatic!  It’s only Danielle Flanders!!  I adore her blog and style – she can do it all – CAS, shabby chic, modern, layered etc.  What a delight to be caseing her wonderful designs.CSC177 DF

Her first card is so stylish and bold – I took my inspiration from the gold, the contrasting black and white and the touches of vellum.  Here’s what I came up with…

I used one of the new sets from this months CBS release – Superstar – love this set – it’s perfect for masculine cards which I always struggle with!!  I was having so much fun with all my gold supplies I thought I might as well do another while I was at it!!!

There you go – two for the price of one, lol!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

The striped stamp was from Market Street Stamps which is no longer trading and so I’m not able to link it up – sorry!

Fabulous February release peeks at Clearly Besotted

Teaser Time

Hi – here I am again with more glimpses of the fabulous new stamps and dies available in the upcoming February release from Clearly Besotted.  Today I’m sharing a card made with the new Hoppy Easter set – don’t you LOVE that bunny.  The set comes with one large solid bunny and one smaller outline bunny.  I thought she’d be perfect for a spot of paper piecing so pulled out some of my MOUNTAIN of unused and unloved patterned paper and got to work!

So what have you seen so far that’s piqued your interest?  Need more inspiration?  Pop over to see what Steph and the rest of the DT have created to whet your apatite even more!!  And don’t forget – tonight is the night – the release goes live at 10 pm GMT so make sure you’re there as these products do have a habit of flying off the shelves in 10 minutes flat!!

Sorry but I can’t link the patterned papers – they are from Pebbles but are no longer available that I can find!
