Up, Up and Away – for Casestudy

Hi Everyone.  Happy Monday

hope you all had a great weekend.

I did manage to get a couple of challenge cards made this weekend!  Yay!  I really do like doing challenges when I can as they stretch me and make me look at my supplies a little differently.

I saw the challenge across at Casestudy this week.  It's an inspiration challenge – as always with Casestudy.  The challenge is to take a card and create something different but take some element(s) from the original.

I liked the layout of the card.  The strong focal image, the vertical element, and the sentiment in an unexpected place.  I also took inspiration from the colors of orange and green.  However, I came up with something entirely different – and managed to use my new Up, Up and Away set, too!

Here's what I came up with.  (This card is another one for the OWH card drive.)

So.. you can see the strong focal images.  You can see the orange and green.  You can see the vertical element – and the sentiment stamped in a very different place for me… However, I think the sentiment works really well where it is, especially with these images.  You know.. up in the air 🙂

Card recipe – all ingredients Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted!

• Card stock: Indigo Island, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade
• Stamps:  Up, Up and Away
• Inks:  Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Indigo Island, Lucky Limeade
• Tools:  Big Shot, Stripes Embossing Folder, Punch (nonSU)

I double stamped all of the balloons and cut one copy of each out and mounted them onto the original using dimensionals.

I think its kinda cute and I love these colors together.  I really was tempted to go with a flower theme when I saw the inspiration card, but decided to go in a whole different direction instead, and I am so pleased I did.

As always, thank you so much for visiting my blog.  You know your visits – and your comments mean a great deal to me.

Hugs and prayers for those in need tonight.
