Hello there!
I am here with another AMAZING inspiration from Elena Roussakis for CASE Study Challenge.
Check it out:
Isn’t this simply breathtaking? Not only are the dolls adorable, but the whole setting is so perfect!
Apart from the beautiful blues and reds, I also wanted to incorporate some beige/linen in my card. I ended up making a flower out of tissue:
I used some stamps from two old Close to my Heart sets to create the pattern in the background. Most of you probably know how to make this flower. I learned this as a child, and it is probably the easiest way to make a flower! Here is a video tutorial that I did a couple of years ago fro my niece’s website. I had used two napkins in the video, however, for this one I used just one and I cut the strips 2.5″ wide.
I decided to add some looped thread in the back of the flower just like Aga does in some of her cards 🙂 I thought it would go well with the inspiration photo. The sentiment was made using clear tape and Dymo label maker. I stuck the tape on Gray card stock and trimmed.
Before this card I had made another card, which wasn’t too bad but seemed to me too bright for the inspiration photo:
When I had first seen the inspiration photo, I immediately thought of the washi tape that I used here, plus the lace. Later I decided to stitch a length of Satin ribbon and bunch it up for an interesting trim. The sentiment on the Heart is made from the same clear tape that I used in the other card. Here is a close-up:
You can see the stitching thread on the ribbon, and I have a feeling it is not supposed to look like that. However, this is the best I could do, as I am a novice when it comes to stitching!
Stop by the CASE Study Challenge blog for more inspiration! and I hope you will get a chance to play along 🙂
Thanks for visiting!
Outstanding! I adore your tissue flower with that gorgeous background, Tasnim!
Gorgeous colour combo and love the big tissue flower on the first.
Two totally awesome and beautiful cards Tasnim! Love all the little details on them, the clear sentiment on the second one is fantastic and I *love* that big flower on the first!
I had no idea they made clear Dymo tape! Love everything about your tissue paper flower card. The white space with your blue and red elements just sings. Love, love, love it!!
Incredible Tasnim, from the flower to the background to the sentiment, I adore it!
Whoa – marvelous creativity – I think you may have started a new trend with the clear tape! Brilliance and beauty 🙂
Tasnim, every time I comment here, I feel like I’m leaving the same message, LOL! This is AMAZING! I adore the stamped background, and that flower is superb! Beautiful work!
Marvellous!! That ribbon detail ❤
