Lucky Day on a lovely day

Wow! What an absolute stunner of a day today - which explains why I'm slipping this one in so late! Less is More threw in an unexpected CASE challenge today and what gorgeous cards they've inspired us with! I decided to take elements from both samples and came up with this:

Card made with Lucky Day from Stampin' Up

This technique where you stamp an image on two pieces of card, die cut letters from one and superimpose them over the other has been on my list of things to try for a while so I was delighted to give it a shot with Stampin' Up's Lucky Day stamp.  I loved Jen's pierced-edge frame popped up over a coloured mat too so I added one of those for extra interest.

Here are Jen and Chrissie's cards for our CASEing enjoyment:


Here's what you'll need to make this card
Stamps: Lucky Day, Hopeful thoughts 
Ink: Gumball Green, Always Artichoke
Card stock: Whisper White, Always Artichoke
Other: Essentials paper-piercing pack and tool, Big Shot, Timeless Type sizzlits alphabet (retired), stamp-a-majig

 So, how did you spend the first proper day of spring? (or was that summer?!) My daughter and I were supposed to go geo-cacheing today but she sensibly decided she'd be better off spending the day revising for an exam instead and I felt it was a good moment to get things cleared up in the garden. I wasn't the only one in the garden...

 ... but some of us were more active than others!

 See you on Monday for more crafting fun,

    Superb card Vicki, this technique looks tricky. My moggy has been sunning herself too.

    Great way to combine both into one CASEd card! The good weather hasn't made it this far north - our cat was firmly curled up by the radiator all day with me on Saturday - it was too windy for her to venture outside what with her delicate nose and all ;-)
