Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge #7: CASE a Designer

9 Mar

Good morning!  Today we have a new challenge for Where Creativity Meets C9 and our theme is CASE a Designer!  You can find all the details and the rest of the design team’s creations here!

We are sponsored by the fabulous Concord & 9th and one lucky random entry will receive a $25 gift certificate for a Concord & 9th shopping spree and our favorite entry will be asked to guest-design for a future challenge!

I CASEd this card by Lindsey that she created for our last challenge:

And this is what I created!

Thank You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Where Creativity Meets C9I wanted to use the colors and basic layout of her card but with all different stamps! 😉 So I started by stamping my favorite florals from Hello Lovely onto a white cardbase with a khaki colored ink.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Painted Thank You onto the center of the card with versafine ink and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then to echo Lindsey’s red hearts I stamped the splatter from Brushed Blossom with a dark red ink and added a few iridescent red ombre sequins.

Thank You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Where Creativity Meets C9And now it’s your turn!  The challenge ends on March 28th and I can’t wait to see who will inspire you and what you’ll create!  Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more design inspiration throughout the month!  Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

I design for several companies because I truly love their products! Anything I recommend on my blog is something that I genuinely love and regularly use. I do not get paid for product reviews and I will never recommend a product that I do not like or would not use.

I am affiliated with several of my favorite crafty companies which means I receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you!!) when you click on one of my links and make a purchase through the store.
