| Hello Friends, Welcome to my third installment as the guest muse over at the CASE Study Challenge blog. (CASE Study selects a few cards from my archives and uses them as inspiration for a weekly challenge.) Today is Case Study #158 If you want to see card #1 click here or card #2 click here. |
Graphic prints are so on trend in the fashion arena so it’s not a surprise that Simon Says stamp delivered beautiful stencils for their STAMPtember® event. Using stencils as a graphic twist to your cards really makes them pop! This particular stencil is called, “Chevron Pattern”.
 |
| These beautiful flower stamps are from Janes Doodles. It’s so much fun knowing someone before they design their own stamp line. I have always been a fan of Jane’s illustrations and her flowers are no exception. For the sentiment I used a combo from this & this stamp set. |
With a light hand it’s super easy to get a beautiful geometric background. I do believe that having some of these daubers on hand are pretty essential. The nice thing is the daubers last a long time especially if you store them in something like this.
(I like to write the stencil number with a permanent marker on the stencil)
 |
| Mixing colors that aren’t the combo you might typically reach for are super fun to play with. If you are new to Copic markers I recommend starting with a blending set like this one because the color choices are great in the sets. |

| If you click on these pictorial tutorials you can see them larger and I hope you find them pretty easy to follow. Would love to hear if you find them helpful. Prepare to be dazzled when you hop on over to the CASE Study Challenge blog to see what the DT created. Thanks for your visit today and see you soon. Hugs, Kathy P.S. If you want to share your card for the CASE Study Challenge with me you can tweet me @kathyrac or find me on instagram kathyrac. I would love to see what you created. P.S.S.

Absolutely gorgeous! Love how you used the pink Luxe ink along with your Copics – such a beautiful card, Kathy! ♥
Adore your card, Kathy!!
Definitely CASEing it! Will share my card once I have created one!
I’ve already blown my monthly budget purchasing stuff from your links.. and you keep using other yummy stuff 😛 Such an enabler!
I’d not have thought of combining these colours so very helpful seeing it done bit by bit. You’re giving me ideas this week – but having to keep a pristine craft room for house viewings does not help – I desperately need to learn CAS!!
Thanks again for all you do

Thanks for sharing the technique on the stensils. I absolutely love your Roses. They look so real and beautiful.
Really Pretty Card!
I’m not a fan of orange but love how you blend the pink with it for the roses. Will definitely try now! The little white areas & dots give the roses an added depth and softness.
I would never have put such a bold graphic with the roses, but like how the softly blended areas look with them. Enamel dots add just the right finish!
I love your cards Kathy. The flowers are gorgeous and I love the background. Thanks for sharing.
Oooh so graphic and trendy, Kathy – I love it! I’m in awe of your colouring skills; you inspired me to play with my markers again this week! Thank you! 🙂
