CASEing Kelly Blog Hop

Hello!

There is a fabulous blog hop underway! Kelly Latevola has been running an awesome series called CASEing Genius. I was one of the lucky ones who she CASEd. There are quite a few of us. I think Kelly is the Genius! We all do, which is why we thought we'd pay the compliment back and CASE Kelly. So much fun! We've each chosen three of Kelly's cards and CASEd them. I cannot wait to hop around and see what everyone else came up with.

For my inspiration I chose these three cards of Kelly's.

 
 
I love everything that Kelly makes, but her florals are at the top of my loves! From these three cards, I took dramatic colours; watercoloured, splattered, and patterned backgrounds; a bold sentiment paired with a sentiment banner. I used a darker, grungier style than Kelly and I came up with this:
I used Altenew Striped Florals,Wplus9 Whole Lotta Happy, and Hero Arts Dots and Flowers Background stamps.

What is a blog hop without some fun prizes? Leave a comment by 11.59pm EDT on Thursday October 29th along each stop in the hop to increase your chances of winning a prize from one of our sponsors:
a2z Scrapbooking
Altenew

Dee's Artsy Impressions
DJkardkreations
Hero Arts

Winners will be notified by email after October 29th.

Here is a list of everyone joining in on this hop!

Thank-you for dropping by! I hope you're enjoying the hop!

    I really enjoyed your card, because I can see all the inspiration you took from Kelly, but your style still shines through. It is a lovely card, I like the slightly grungy look and the more muted colors. Beautiful CASE! Thanks for being part of this hop to honor Kelly, I admire her work and who she is so much and I think it is a lovely idea for all of you talented ladies to let her know how much you love her.

    What a challenge to select *only* three favourites from Kelly's amazing arsenal of creativity, but wow...you managed to narrow down some real treasures. Your case: simply awesome! Such a marvelous hop to put the spotlight on someone who allows so many others to shine. Heart-warming and touching!
