Just Us Girls #786 -- CASE A DESIGN TEAM MEMBER Week

Join us! It is CASE A DT week at Just Us Girls.  Ina is challenging us to choose one of the DT members' cards and CASE (Copy and Share Everything).   CASE a Design Team [DT] member means it is your choice to CASE any DT's card in the JUGS post. [CASE = copy & share everything].  In a nutshell, use what inspires you from the card you choose, and create your own. There is such a selection from what the Team has created using anything goes for their creations. 

If you need help in learning how to CASE a card, please check out Ardyth's post on her LIMES method.  CASEing others' work is a powerful learning tool enabling you to solidify your own style.

I love CASE a DT Week.  It reminds me of the old Muse challenge... anyone out there been doing this long enough to remember that challenge?  I loved Muse because usually you were learning a new technique in order to CASE the guest designer's card.  OK... I have a few elements you could incorporate:  embossing folders, embossing paste, stencils, and heat embossing.  Also the theme...bees!  Or maybe the colors: kraft, black and gold.  Have fun with it.

I should say that this was the first time I have used gold embossing butter with a stencil.  The bees did not turn out as sharp as I would have liked, but they are still fun!

Check out the design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.
