Casing Myself!
Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! This is our 2nd week of casing (copying) each other and guess what? Our team is casing ME today! And yes, I am casing myself! This is the card I chose that I had created when our new In Colors for this year debuted in May:
I copied the card exactly the same but just changed up the stamp set. As I write this and after my card was created though, I just realized each of the two cards, has a bird of some sorts. I did not plan it that way.
I used the Painted Pheasants stamp set and added two colors to the body. I also used the Fern 3D Embossing Folder for the white layer:
