It's time for another CASE It Hop on Instagram. Even more creators have joined this hop this month so I hope you'll head over to Instagram to see what everyone was inspired by!
This hop has been a lot of fun for me... I often get inspiration from cards I see online and I love that I get to highlight another creator while showing how I took their original and made it my own.
First, the card I was inspired by... I was inspired by this gorgeous card by Jennifer Ingle. I loved how crisp and clean it was (even with the embossed background), how the colour popped on the black strip and how the focal element was not contained by that black strip. I even loved that she used a small mat of colour behind her black panel.
So, the point of CASE-ing isn't to copy the card completely... it's to take elements of it and be inspired to make something that is your own. I kept my card very similar to Jennifers card. But I changed a few things. I decided to emboss the black panel instead of the full background, I changed up the colours and I made a birthday card instead of a thinking of you card.
