CASE-ing Wednesday...

 Case-ing Wednesday...

What is Case-ing you might ask.  

That is when you see a card online that really speaks to you, that you want to make.  

Since it is not cool to copy someone else's work....we CASE.  Copy And Selectively Edit. 

This way you use the idea, but make the card your own, AND give credit to the original artist. 

Here is the card I saw that I LOVED! 

This card was made by Jolanda Johnstone at Inque Spot Studio.  

It really spoke to me.  I LOVED the "artsy fartsy" (a very specific Shel term) aspect to this card.  

So I set to work to re-invent this card....here is what I came up with: 

I chose a black card base to match the black stamping and the marker outlines and to pop against the white watercolor papers

Small rectangles of bright ink were painted onto watercolor paper with a Water Painter brush.  This layer has to be COMPLETELY DRY before you continue.

Small stamps from various sets were used and stamped multiple times (because the watercolor paper is bumpy, not smooth) with the stamparatus and Memento Black ink. 

Images were colored with Stampin Blends.

A black fine-tip permanent sharpie was then used to draw squiggly lines around the rectangles.
