This is my card for Verve's September Diva Dare to CASE A Diva. I knew exactly who I wanted to case: fellow BC resident and blog buddy Maureen - waving wildly to you Moe :) We met at a Verve release party, started blogging about the same time and she has been a wonderful blog buddy for over two years now. Though we live in the same province (about 4 hours apart) we have never actually met. You see, she has a nasty habit of being out of town when I drive through her home town....wink, wink ;)
This summer, if I would have had the address of the new house they are building, I would have gone up there and nailed a "sorry I missed you" card to the framing in her craft room to let her know I was there and she wasn't in. Not to mention laying claim to being her first craft room "guest" LOL! But alas, I didn't think it through soon enough to pull it off -- darn -- as it would would have been waaaay too much fun to have done it :) Maybe next time I drive through....
Sorry, I digress....on to the card. I knew exactly which card I was going to case. It was this beauty she posted a few days ago.
I loved all the white space and the layout. I switched out the DP, replaced the flower with a butterfly, used Labels 15 for the top shape, and changed the sentiment. Such a fun card to make. Thanks for the inspiration, Moe (((hugs))).

ReplyDeleteWhat a super case, Marisa! Love your pretty designer paper and lots of white space, too. Sweet job with the pearls.
ReplyDeleteMarisa I just love that bright bold red you used on your card. What a great creative impact it makes and draws your eye right to the creative goodness. Beautifully done!

ReplyDeleteGREAT CASE of Maureen's card, Marisa! LOOOOOVE that luscious red ribbon up top.
ReplyDeleteoh, Marisa, thank you for this honour :) I was worried too that no one would choose to CASE me as there are too many fabulous options :) You are a dear buddy :) That would have been too funny for you to be the first studio guest without us having met in person yet :) But you know where I live ;) Perhaps you just need a girls away weekend by yourself :) LOVE the bright colours and that sweet butterfly :) Thanks again, I LOVE this :) AND did you see? It won first place this week at CASE study :)

ReplyDeleteThat would have been a great idea. I bet she would have been shocked. This is a beautiful card. I love these colors on any card. That bow is luscious.
ReplyDeleteOoh how very pretty Marisa! I love this (and now I'm going to have to go browsing in Maureen's gallery!)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhh, LOVE your SWEEEEEET bow!!

ReplyDeletethis is so eye catching Marisa, the pops of red are amazing, the DS paper is just perfect- nearly dotty-lol! :)
