Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

CASING Melisssa Davies!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! I think everyone on our team is having so much fun casing each other. This week we are casing Melissa Davies and this is her card that I chose to case:

I’m loving all of the layers Melissa used and of course the pretty colors of Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Basic White. I decided to go with the Winter Owls Bundle for stamps and diecuts:

Isn’t that diecut owl gorgeous? And I love that he is in a flight position. I positioned him looking up at the world on my card:
