Yeloow! I am back today with another card for CASE-A-Diva and this time I am CASEing Laurie Schmidlin’s super fabby distressed beauty shown below.
And also entering the Wee Memories no pattern paper challenge.
Here is my take on it.
I have kept all the details almost same. I chose to go horizontal with the ribbon and sentiment.
I am not to happy with the scoring from MS board. The cardstocks used here are very sturdy so it was quite hard getting some good score lines. I like bits of hand stitching here and there.
The sentiment frame is traced from a template and cut “manually” lol this is why it’s a bit uneven. I will get my hands on Spellbinder dies SOMEDAY! *wishful thinking*
Jumbo Glitter on butterfly by Pie Lane – Sentiment by Fiskars – Inks: Archival ink (sepia), ColorBox Cat eye queues in Lava Black and Sepia Gold – Markers: Crayola (brown)
Here is a little tip. I do this all the time… when you dont have the right colour cardstock, just do this:
The base of my card is the same cardstock as the layer to which I have adhered the scraps and sentiment. I just coloured the edges and voila you have colour base of YOUR choice.
I think I will CASE Andrea Ewen now, I am SOOO enjoying this! Happy crafting people, see you tomorrow!

I love the rich cocoa color on your card and its a beautiful case!
Thanks for the tip, I have done it on a number of occasions. Try using acrylic paints on textured sheet. It gives a wonderful color and beautiful texture :)
Love those fabulous colors on this beautiful card! Great hand stitching and thanks for the tip on coloring the edges of the cardstock! I would have never thought to do that.
