JAI #102 - Just case Kathy Tanner

Hi there

This week at Just Add Ink the challenge was to Just Add Kathy Tanner.  I had never seen Kathy's blog so my first task was to check it out - Kathy's blog is now on my list :).  After checking through her posts for 2011, I had a list of favourites then I had to narrow it down and settled on two.

The first is for my nephews 21st next month:

I instantly fell in love with the bright colours Kathy had used.  I'm sure this card will be made again.  It's a great way to use up the offcuts we all seem to accrue.  I've used a retired stamp set Starring You with white embossing powder.

Supplies:
Stamp - Starring You (retired)
Card Stock - Rich Razzleberry, Real Red, Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point, Old Olive, Night of Navy, Whisper White
Other - White Embossing Powder, Big Shot, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Die

My second card is a sympathy card - had to make 3 this past weekend :(  I find it hard to get the right layout that reflects the tone of the card but I think this layout has worked well.  Check to see Kathy's original.

Supplies:
Stamp - Pocket Silhouettes, Thoughts & Prayers
Card Stock - Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla
Ink - Elegant Eggplant
Other - Perfect Plum Taffeta Ribbon, Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder

Thanks Kathy for giving us so many ideas.

    Paula, both of your cards are wonderful.

    It's very hard to make a guy's 21st card and you've made a fantastic one! Love all the mats you've used on it.

    The second card is also one that is hard to do. I think it's perfect. Great colour choice and it's serene looking.

    Thanks for playing along with us at JAI this week, I'm glad you found something of mine to case.

    Wow Paula you've done a fabulous job of CASEing these cards. I'm rather keen on that 21st card too - always such a difficult thing for the males in our lives. Thanks for playing with us at JAI this week.

    These cards are so different, but both gorgeous! I am sure that your nephew loved it too. I always find it hard to make masculine cards but this one is perfect for a male 21st. Thanks for joining in with us at Just Add Ink :)
