Can You Case It? #71 - Coastal Cabana Butterfly Easel Card

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the Can You Case It? weekly challenge.  From next month these colours will no longer be available, so we are saying goodbye.





My choices for this challenge are Coastal Cabana combined with Baked Brown Sugar.  I've also added the Gold Fancy Foil Vellum and Gold Foil with a little Whisper White for this card.   Here it is.  I've created an Easel card based on a 14 x 14cm square base.




The feature of this card is the Beautiful layered butterfly cut with the Butterfly thinlits dies out of Coastal Cabana card and Gold foil.  I've used the In Colour Boutique Details for the centre and the base of my card and the Scallop Border and Decorative Label punches.  Here's a closer look at my Butterfly.




Here's a picture of the base of the card.  The greeting here comes from the Butterfly Basics stamp set and this layered panel forms the anchor for this Easel to stand.  I've also added some of the Coastal Cabana ruffle trim along this lower edge.




I can't wait to see all the great entries we receive for this challenge in these cool colours and would love to see what you choose.  Here's the full view of mine once again with the side perspective.




For more inspiration make sure you visit Can You Case It?  and see what our other talented team members have created.

Have a great day.

    Your georgeous butterflies reminds me of the music Keeper of the Wind. The song that was played as the Endeavor Space Shuttle trecked through L.A. on it's final destination. http://framework.latimes.com/2012/10/15/time-lapse-video-space-shuttle-endeavours-trek-across-l-a/

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
