Everything Eleanor CASE

I Love the Stampin In up set ‘Everything Eleanor’, very single stamp in the set is just gorgeous … the beautiful swirls, the huge frame and stunning flower heads ... but when it arrived I was completely stumped on how to use it ... I’d completely lost my mojo so I CASed a beautiful card by Monica

Stamps: Everything Eleanor
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, soft suede
DSP: Mocha Morning
Mediums: Rich Razzleberry, Black Onyx Versafine
Embellishments: 5/8 Basic Black satin and 1/8 Rich Razzleberry taffeta ribbon, Basic pearls
Tools: Paper snips, Tombow liquid glue, Dimensionals

I always find CASing a card gives me LOADS of inspiration – watch out for a few more Everything Eleanor cards coming soon

I’ll be back tomorrow with my very first WaltzingMouse Waltz card.

I knew with this card I was going to use red and white but as the card grew I added soft suede to give it that vintage look.  I especially loved making up my own DSP with the Text It and Musical Backgrounds stamps … Mmmmm don’t you love the shabby look.

I’m hoping to spend a few more hours in the craft room - Have a great week!
