This sketch immediately made me think of my 18 year old niece who is heading to Finland in a few weeks to work as an au pair. This card is a very literal CASE, and I really hope gets to her before she leaves.
I paired the sketch with the Make it Monday #138 : Inlaid Die Cuts challenge. You can check out Betsy's video tutorial here. My inlaid die cut is super simple on this card, but I love the way the linen thread "pulling" the banner is tucked under the airplane. The stamps are from the PTI Destination stamp set.
This next card is for CASE Study # 51, where Elena Roussakis continues as the muse with this card for inspiration.
I struggled a bit with this challenge until I let go of the ballerina/dance idea. Once I focussed on the jar filled with flowers, the card came together pretty quickly.
The flowers are from Wplus9 and the tag, jar & sentiment are from PTI.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie

ReplyDeleteI love how you tucked the string under the plane. Great card! The flower card is gorgeous and the inlaid heart on the tag is so sweet :-)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are awesome, Jacquie! How fun for your niece to get this card and travel to Finland. Your floral card is beautiful with the doily background and "inlaid" heart on the tag. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Jacqui - I love anything with planes and the bouquet is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteJacquie! Thanks for stopping by my site! Look at your beauties and the presentation! Wow! The inlays and CAS style are wonderful-- check out the current Make it Monday at Papertrey Ink (if you haven't). Challenge is inlays with dies....
ReplyDeleteWhoops!!! I just reread your heading-- guess you were combining efforts here with the MIM challenge! I was too taken by the visuals to pay attention to the text!! Long night teaching! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, both of these cards are wonderful! I especially love the second one!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are Fabulous, Jacquie. Love the plane wishing Bon Voyage and of course, that jar of pretty pink flowers is the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Jacquie! Your Case Study is so pretty! (It would have been another beauty in the MUSE challenge last week.) And your Bon Voyage card for your niece is so perfect, both for her and for the challenges!! I love how you've inlaid your dies! Hugs, Darnell
