And now on to my mojo.
Oh, I'm having so much fun with Card Creations Volume 10! Today's inspiration comes from Jaclyn Miller and her absolutely delightfully "me" baby card:
Can't you just imagine I would make a card like this? Check out all that glorious white space! Check out that fun color combo! Check out the SINGLE LAYER OF CARD STOCK!!!!!!!!!
Of course, I can't remember ever having the brain bliss to do something like this, so I took her brilliant idea and looked for stamps in my collection that would work similarly. And I made this in about five minutes (and that includes searching for the stamps):
Squeee!!!!!
Sometimes, when we improvise, we have to tweek things to keep the design balanced. Since my sentiment was a bit wider and the red image a bit bigger than Jaclyn's, I moved it down on the card. That just felt right for balance. Higher, it would have looked top-heavy. Lower down, it feels grounded.
Thank you, Jaclyn, for opening up a whole glorious new CAS layout for me. I anticipate using this one with every single long sentiment I own. The permutations are endless!
Supplies
stamps: Papertrey Ink Floral Frenzy
ink: Memento pear tart, black; SU real red (because it's the only real red out there!)
paper: Papertrey
accessories: not a single one!
I love Jaclyn's card and I love your take on her design! So fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThis is SO cool! I'm going to raid my stamp sets, too, to see what I can come up with using this layout. Thanks a bunch, Susan! I LOVE your card!

ReplyDeleteJaclyn Miller commented on this post, but I screwed up and deleted the comment. Here's what she said:
ReplyDelete"Hi Susan, I just saw this pinned on Pinterest and had to leave a comment. I'm SO flattered that you CASEd my card. Your take on it is so beautiful and just as good if not better than the original!"
What a kind comment! Thanks so much, Jaclyn, for taking the time to comment and for providing AMAZING inspiration over and over!!!!
