Case Study Challenge #83

This month's muse at Case Study Challenge is Laura Bassen. The concept of the challenge is to be inspired by her. Well, that's not a new concept for me because she inspires me with every card creation. So, entering this challenge was a regular day for me, except I wanted to go the extra mile. I express it best in this letter:

 

Dear Laura,

For a whole week, I tried to figure out a design that would impress you. In my effort to try to honor your muse-ness, I think I choked under the pressure. Here it is:

Your admirer,

I was trying to make that little slit special. At first I was going to make a gift card holder and put a gift card in the slit. Then I thought polka dots was the way to go. The sentiment with its handwritten last word made me pull out my happy trails set from PTI. My husband says I use too much white (what???) so I tried my hand at a gray card base. Lastly, it took all my strength to KEEP THE CARD FLAT. I had to raise the entire card on pop ups so the stitching can show, but I kept wanting to add more layers to it. 

So anyhoo, there it is...

And here is Laura's masterpiece for Case Study Challenge #83:

Bye!
