When the Paper Therapy Design Team chose to change our challenge schedule to the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month, with the Paper Therapy Mix It Up Challenges running on the 1st and 3rd Fridays, we realized that because a few months had 5 Fridays, there would be some Fridays without challenges. The Design Team didn’t like that. So we decided that we’d offer “Freaky Friday” challenges on those “extra” Fridays. Today marks the first of them.
This week the challenge is to “CASE” (Copy And Selectively Edit) a project made by another Paper Therapy member. Ashlee T‘s typically clean and simple style is right up my alley, and I decided to choose her card from her March 16, 2011 blog post as my project. I had to use slightly different shades of green and orange because I don’t have designer papers in the exact colors Ashlee used. I could have used a polka dotted paper like she used, but I didn’t want my card to be an exact duplicate, so I chose a fine pindot stripe instead. I also used a different stamp set, and I modified her layout from a square card to a rectangular one. I wanted to elevate the green present just slightly from the two orange ones. A dimensional adhesive, such as a pop dot, would have given it more height than I wanted. So I took a scrap of white cardstock, cut two narrow pieces from it, stacked them, and adhered them to the bottom of the present.
Thank you, Ashlee, for the inspiration! 🙂
