I’m sorry for the absence guys, I realized that I haven’t shared the news that we were moving! It took us about 4 days to make ourselves at home in the new place and work is mostly done, but between this and other stuff going on in the “3D” life, I now have a long list of things to catch up with. For now, how about a new CASE Study? As you know, as the new month kicks in we also have a new Muse and I’m happy to share that March belongs to Joni Nina Andaya! I adore her rich and eclectic style. Here’s her first card:

Hands down, one of the best elegant designs I’ve seen so far. I wanted to stick on to the colours so badly, they tickle me like a hot cocoa and shortbread biscuits on a cold winter day would I also carried some design elements through, such as monochromatic floral background, stripes and a subtle touch of blush coloured floral.

Check out the blogs below for the Design Team’s takes on the challenge, or visit CASE Study to see it all in all place.
