The Crafty Den: CASE IT IG Hop

Hello again friends. I hope you've had a great day so far. I'm back to share a card I made for another new IG Hop I've joined. This one is called the CASE IT Instagram Hop where we find a project on Instagram that inspires us and we will share that project as well as the project we’ve created that was inspired by that original. There are so many beautiful creations on Instagram the only difficult part is narrowing down which one to CASE (which means Copy And Share Everything).

I was inspired by Galina (@galachko over on IG); her cards are beautiful and so well designed. I actually didn't change too much from her original as I loved it so much. Here is her card for my inspiration:

As you can see she has a pretty quilted background, a die cut circle, some gorgeous butterflies, heat embossed sentiment and a few dew drop type embellishments. I loved the CAS layout so stuck to that pretty closely. I also had the same quilted background die so used mine too. In place of the butterflies I used some cute images and added pearl embellishments.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the cute images:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and die cut it using the quilted background die. I stamped the images onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured them with Promarkers, added white gel pen highlights and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I stamped the sentiment using versamark onto black card and white heat embossed it before using a sentiments strip die to cut it out. I die cut a decorative circle from white card and added some scrap white card behind it for dimension. The quilted background was adhered to the card front with double sided tape and the circle placed on top also with double sided tape. I arranged the images and sentiment over the circle with foam squares and finished off with some pearl embellishments. For the inside I cut another white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and added a strip of white card again cut with the quilted background to the bottom with liquid glue. I stamped, coloured and die cut another plaster (or band-aid) image and adhered that in the left lower corner with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink. The panel was adhered to the card base with double sided tape. I know my card follows Galina's card quite closely but I loved it so much but I did make a few slight changes to make it my own.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
