CASE IT IG Hop - February 26

Hello again friends. I hope you've had a great start to your Saturday; it's actually been sunny here today but I think it's just a blip and we will be back to rain tomorrow lol!  I'm back to share this month's card for 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. 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).

This month I was inspired by Stacey (@StaceysCreativeCorner over on IG); her cards are super cute and this one instantly called to me - a cute image, kraft and pretty papers. I don't have any baby cards in my stash so I changed it from Valentine's to new baby.  Here is her card for my inspiration:

Isn't Stacey's card just so adorable? I kept the scalloped layers but I went with white instead of kraft and my layout is vertical instead of horizontal although I think you can still see how I was inspired by Stacey's card! I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

a closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping the cute llama onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured it with Promarkers and used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I die cut the scallop layer and a stitched layer from white card and adhered them together with double sided tape.  I cut three strips of patterned paper (not sure if you can tell but two of them have glittery highlights running through them) and adhered them onto the stitched panel with double sided tape.  I die cut a circle from vellum and adhered the llama on top with foam squares.  I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment directly onto the vellum but it looked a little lost so I re-stamped it onto white card using sea glass ink and used a sentiments strips die to cut it out.  I then added this over the embossed sentiment with foam squares.  I added foam squares behind the vellum and adhered it onto the background in the bottom right.  I finished off with some mint sequins and also added some glitter accents to the centre so that they would match the papers.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel and then adhered it to my card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I cut the same white layers, cut some small pieces of the papers and added them to the bottom of the panel with liquid glue.  I masked the papers and stamped the llama peeking over the top and stamped a sentiment in the centre with black ink.  I adhered the panel to the card base with double sided tape.  

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