We’re sadly saying farewell to our September Muse, at CASE Study this week… that’s the part that I never like. However, that means one more week with Kathy Racoosin’s card artistry and here’s what we’re serving today:
I was taken with the fresh and unexpected combination of elements, the moment I discovered this card, and immediately I saw potential. So many interesting elements to take inspiration from! My starting point was the pinking circular element which reminded me strongly of a bottle cap. I remembered an oversized cap I was given long ago and doubted I’d ever use… well, you never know! I used it to frame the trendy art deco image from the Waltzingmouse new release stamp set, Putting On The Ritz.
I completed the look with another WMS set, the Art Deco Backgrounds which I stamped the two-tone background with.
I decorated the inside of the cap with pearls, and I used the Want2Scrap Nestabling as an added decorative element. The latter came in pink so I used a Copic marker to recolour it the shade I wanted.
Apologies for the incomplete supply list below, lots of the stuff used is of a generic source: cream pearls, cap, ribbon & trim, plus some of the cardstock.
Because of the bottle cap, I thought it would be a good idea to link this card into The General Craft Supplies Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.
Check out the blogs below for the Design Team’s takes on the challenge, or visit CASE Study to see it all happening in one place.
