It's the 5th of the month, and that means it's time for another Crafty Gals Challenge. This month, our challenge was to CASE the talented Jeanette. Oh my goodness... I spent so much time looking through her old blog posts trying to pick a favorite card to CASE. It was a tough choice - I love Jeanette's style! I finally decided on this cute card she posted back in October...
     
jeanette pin girl rose 1
    
I love the layout and color combo she used here, and I knew I had similar patterned papers in my stash, so this was the one I settled on. Those of you that know me, know I have a REALLY hard time mixing patterns! Jeanette does it all the time, and does it so well! There's no better way to learn, than to copy a pro! :)
      
I also needed a cute girly image, so I pulled out my favorite Pure Innocence girl, Being Cute Is What I Do. The patterned papers are all from the My Mind's Eye Moments 6x6 pad. I copied Jeanette's card pretty close, but changed up the embellishments since I didn't have a flower to match. I've paper-peiced her shirt, and added pleats with my Copics. I also added some texture to her pants after coloring them by soaking a scrap of denim with Copic blender solution, and dabbing it on the pants.

Oh my goodness!!! Your card is AMAZING!!! I learn so much from you - like I had no idea you could add denim texture to an image like that. IMPRESSIVE!!!

And what a fun/sweet image it is!

I love the way you used the colors and layout from my card - because those are some of my favorites, too.

THANK YOU for CASE'ing me so beautifully!!! And for saying such sweet things about me, too! Hugs!!!
