SSInk - Case the DT - Diana Eichfeld

Hello everyone!  Today over at SSInkspiration it is Case the Design Team member day.  Today we are all casing the fabulous Diana Eichfeld.  Diana is a contracts manager in Bristow, Virginia who is also a very talented demonstrator.  She is an avid runner, and recently completed the Prince William Half Marathon.  Diana is also a big Disney fan, and being a fan myself, I decided to CASE a Disney themed birthday card that she made.

Here is Diana's card:

Here is my card:

I changed up the colors a little bit, but kept the overall design.  I love this card!  My card started, like Diana's with a Pool Party card base.  Then I have an Real Red layer ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"), that was embossed with the Sparkle embossing folder.  My Minnie Mouse head was made using the Layering Circle Framelits, and Basic Black cardstock.  I added a bow with the Daffodil Delight 1/4" Double Stitched Ribbon.  Like Diana, I also used a partial Lots of Labels framelits for my greeting.  But, I did not have the exact greeting that she used, so mine came from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

That is all I have to share for today.  Please be sure to head on over to the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration blog to see how the rest of the design team has CASE-d Diana.

Thanks for stopping by!

#SSINKTC47

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I spent most of the weekend just relaxing with my husband.  It was such a nice change from our usually jam packed schedule!

Today, at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration we have a Technique Challenge starting.

I was a little apprehensive about, and intimidated by this technique to start with.  But I am so glad I tried it out!  It is fun, and also an easy way to make up a whole set of coordinating cards!

Here is my card:

I used the Pear Pizazz, Rose Red, Calypso Coral, and Crushed Curry reinkers with the Ink Spray & Smash technique to create my background.  I then stamped images from the Paisleys & Posies stamp set over the background, using Archival Basic Black ink.  I dressed it up with some Pear Pizazz shimmer ribbon, and Black Mini Sequins, and a Happy Birthday greeting from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

I hope you will head over to the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration blog and see what the other design team members did with this technique, and maybe even play along with the challenge yourself!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
