Hello!
I am back with a new CASE Study challenge with Joni as our muse. The inspiration is a gorgeous vibrant card! Check it:
I went with the inking and splatter for inspiration, and added one my favorite techniques; masking!
and it is an interactive card! When you pull the side tab, it reveals the rest of the sentiment:
What’s interesting is that I didn’t plan it to be interactive from the beginning. A particularly large droplet of water led me to cover up that area by adding a moon to the scene. Since I was going for a one-layer look, I decided to die cut a circle and insert a white circle in it’s place.
Then as I was deciding on the sentiment and it’s placement, I thought a circular sentiment on the moon would look interesting. So I pulled out all my circular sentiments that would fit, and the one with the heart shape and ‘love’ looked the best. I was done and left my card, or at least I thought I was done…when I came back to look at the it again, it didn’t seem right; ‘Love’ floating in the sky. I thought ‘Love you’ would be better, but I wasn’t going to add any more elements to the sky area since I wanted it to be the focal part from the beginning. That is when the idea to make it an interactive card came. With a little bit of card engineering I was able to put the idea into action 🙂
I won’t try to explain how I did it, even though it is quite simple, it is not easy to explain without pictures. But if anyone is interested, I could do a video later on.
I hope you stop by the CASE Study challenge blog and play along! There design team along with our guest designers and Joni herself have some amazing projects to share!
So interesting to hear your thought process, Tasnim! It was meant to be with this card. It’s gorgeous, clever and thoughtful all in one.
I jus love the background…yeah would love to see the video of the process…nice card!!!
Wonderful, Tasnim! Fabulous masking and love the colour choices for your dreamy sky 🙂
Great card! Would love a video!!!
Simply brilliant! Love your take on the challenge!
I love your beautiful background and the contrast with the masking – gorgeous! I just watched your video on the OCC and I am blown away by your stunning card and the masterful drawing hand you have!
Gorgeous card!! Love love that night sky and your creative way of thinking and engineering. Would LOVE to see a video!!
