I'm back! Today is my day with my friend Michelle Lupton in her CASE me a Christmas Card series - a holiday tradition around here. It's a just for fun series she does every year with amazing guests!
The idea is that each of us picks a card from each other's blog to CASE (copy and share everything) and turn it into a Christmas Card.
For my card, I chose this darling vintage holiday image, and I colored it with colored pencil, adding the details back with a Micron pen. I created the "floor" with this stencil, a brush and blue raspberry ink, masking it off with Post-It tape and doing secondary light blending over the stenciled area to create a solid surface.
Here are the things I incorporated from Michelle's incredibly adorable card you will see below:
- Pink and blue as the dominant color scheme
- Checkerboard style "floor" using this stencil (coupon below)
- CAS design
- Right centered focal point with left positioned sentiment
- Angled shadow
- Vintage art style
Here's Michelle's post with her adorable card - shared with permission here. She drew her "floor" which on her card is a gingham tablecloth. So, so sweet. If you are not already following her on Instagram and YouTube, please do so - she's amazing.
Now this is a two way process, so today she picked one of my cards to CASE.

This Christmas series is my favorite! I love how you all CASE cards and so many different products used! Love the card Lydia!!
ReplyDeleteI loved all the cards but I think the small trees going up the hill is my favorite. I like the text links. Some of them don't work, who knows why. Your friend is amazing, I followed her on Instagram.
ReplyDeleteI always love Michelle's Christmas CASE blog segment! Your card is fabulous. A good vintage Christmas Girl is high on my favorite stamp theme list! :) I really like your angled shadow. Blue and pink are my favorite together. This hits all my happy buttons!
ReplyDeleteLove your elegant vintage girlie! (Sorry it has taken me so long to comment here - Blogger hasn't let me long in on my phone!)
