Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!

Oh wow! I haven't been able to participate the last couple of months in Papertrey Ink's blog hops but this month I found a couple of minutes to make my card - and when CASING is the theme.....well, it just makes it that much easier don't you think?!!

I cased my card from this card of Betsy Veldman's - I've provided the link and the actually photo for you....absolutely LOVE her creations and her work is just all around so pretty and detail-ish!!

BETSY"S CARD

I used Baby Button Bits to make my card and used the very same layout and everything - just changed up the stamp set and papers.... I'm pretty lazy that way! lol!

MY CARD

I didn't use my copics to shadow the image, because frankly I figured I would probably mess it up. I am taking a  copic class in another couple of weeks with Linda Heavens and am planning on learning that technique at the class.(okay Linda?! lol!)

Instead of using  Background Basics Text Style I got out my Background Basics Retro, which I think was a good fit for this card and designer paper.

I did use my sewing machine but discovered (dang it!) that it had my beige thread in instead of my white thread which would have made for a far better finish....ah well....such is cardmaking....

Thanks for popping around tonight!!
