It was truly and honor [and surprise] to be featured on Kelly Latevola's CASEing Genius! Today I'm honored again to be joining the other 'geniuses' to CASE Kelly!!
Surprise Kelly!
Even though I am sorely lacking her skills with coloring, I shelved my fears, and added lots of color to my CASE of these three genius cards:
I've created a curved panel for my card-base, a postage stamp die cut, which I then colored, and popped up - even a bit of a shaker element, too! How do like me now, Ms. L ??!! Okay. You would have so colored those leaves and stems ... but our leaders did say to 'make it my own.' =]
Kelly, we love you! My sentiment says it all ... you celebrate beautiful every day, and we are all grateful for it. Thank you, so much, for shining a little of your love-light on each one of us! Happy blogging anniversary!

ReplyDeleteTake Care!
Michele
You are rocking the colour GF!
ReplyDeleteWell done ; this is awesome:)
ReplyDeleteI know that Kelly has mad coloring skills, but I am being blown away by the skills shown by all of your lovely ladies on the hop! You did a fantastic job with your coloring, and frankly leaving the stems and leaves white added to the affect of the card, and obviously made it your own! Anyway can try to absolutely mimic another's work (although I couldn't touch Kelly's coloring talent!) but it takes true creativity to look at that wok, get inspired and create something u inquest, but that still references the original, you did this beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a part of this lovely hop to honor Kelly. I don't know Kelly personally (alas) but have followed her blog for years and am in awe of both her talent and her heart as a human being. It is nice to see her getting this kind of recognition from her fellow crafting friends and I am sure she is overwhelmed.
Wow! Beautiful cards!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous honour for Kelly to be featured in this lovely hop! She truly possesses a huge talent for colouring and card making, and her cards always make me wish I had a wee bit of those skills (LOL), so I can empathize with your fear, Michele. But you did a wonderful job with your floral card. Celebrate Beautiful indeed :-)
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful Michele! :) such a a fun one!
ReplyDeleteI think you did awesome with your colouring skills. Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card, Michele! I LOVE that bold colorful flower!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card. Such a wonderful case. Love it:)
ReplyDeleteLoved your CASE! The color on that flower was gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAwesome round of sponsors and fun blog hop! Love your unique artsy vibe interpretation CASE card!!
ReplyDeleteI'm stunned and amazed, Michele. So much wonder going on here that I can hardly take it all in.
ReplyDeleteWOW, Michele, this is simply STUNNING!!! Oh, I've looked at every little detail on this wonderful card and I LOVE it!!! A work of art - PERFECT in every way!!! I'm definitely off to visit Kelly - the three cards of her you've got here are awesome - I want to see more!!!!

ReplyDeleteNow I know you love me. You put color on a card! It's stunning!! I adore that you didn't color those steams and leaves. It makes the bloom POP right off the page! I just want to hug your face off!! Thank you so much for everything! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour first blog-hop card/post are a stunning, smashing success! Applauding the trio of Kelly's cards you selected and wildly cheering your 'smerging' (we actually used that word as part of assessment practices, a few years back!) of various elements to make a uniquely YOU card! The colouring, the shaker element, the non-colouring...love x love this!
