Blessed, Let's Get Hopping #18

Back in July 2016, I shared a set of Christmas projects *here* on the blog.  That blog post has, by far, been my best performing - most viewed - post to date! 

So when the Let's Get Hopping team were challenged to CASE themselves for this month's blog hop theme, I decided to draw inspiration from these popular projects to bring you this new design.

What does CASE mean? 

I like to think of it as Copy And Selectively Edit.

Copying isn't particularly creative work.  Being inspired by someone else's idea to produce something new and different is creative work.
- Shia LaBeouf

I chose to CASE the cookie bag from *this* original post.  To start with, I searched through my stamp collection to find a sweet little floral that would suit being coloured with Stampin' Write Markers.  I settled on this "Beautiful Promenade" flower and went with tones of Highland Heather and Mossy Meadow.  I paired it with a romantically scripted "Southern Serenade" sentiment.

I'm featuring this design in a card buffet event later this month.  Are you local to the Bendigo area? Come and make this card with me!  Find details of my next event *here* on my facebook page.

Or, learn with me online!  Find this tutorial and more on my YouTube Channel.
