A CASE Of A CASE Of Myself

Hi!

Try saying that five times quickly!

 

Today's card is a CASE of both a card I made recently (that was a CASE of another card I made that was a CASE of a decor item in the Annual Catalogue - confused yet?), and also of an ATC I made recently for a swap I hosted. Let's get unconfused!

The front of the card is a CASE of my ATC. An ATC is an Artist Trading Card, and is usually a 2.5 by 3.5 inch card that is decorated. This time we did ATC Coins, which are 2.5 inches round. Here's my ATC so that you can see how I CASEd myself.

I used the same colour combo, but without the Daffodil Delight on the card. I also went for the slightly larger houses, as I used larger circles on the card. I kept the smaller houses for the inside of my card.

The starry (or even snowy) sky is made by flicking Shimmer Paint over the cardstock using an Aqua Painter or a small paintbrush. You basically pick up some paint with the brush and then flick the bristles of the brush over the edge of the paint lid while holding it over the cardstock. Play around with the amount of paint and the distance flicked to get different sized splatters. It is a bit messy though, so make sure you cover anything that doesn't need splatters.

This inside of the card is a CASE of this card. I won't try to explain the chain of CASEd cards, you can follow the links on each post if you're curious! I loved how the inside of my last card turned out, so I copied it pretty much exactly for this card. I just switched out the DSP for the Shimmer Paint splatters. I think they look more like snow than the stars on the DSP.

Claire is once again hosting this week's Blog Share over on her blog. Don't forget to go check out everyone's cards - you won't be disappointed!

Bye for now,
