Today, I’m participating in the Can You Case It card challenge, what fun!

Inspiration can come from anywhere, you just have to recognize it when it speaks to you. During a little mindless DVR surfing a couple of weeks ago, I was fast-forwarding through commercials and just happened to pause in the middle of a GMC advertisement. I left the room to grab a drink, and when I returned the GMC logo was still up on the TV screen … don’t ask me why, but something about that logo’s letter “C” really screamed out at me. I grabbed my notebook and made a quick sketch. When I was finally able to get down to work in my studio the other day, the following card was born! I really love the way it turned out, don’t you?
I started out with an A2 card base of Basic Black. The card front was embossed with the soon-to-be-retired Argyle embossing folder, over which I added a layer of Typeset Specialty DSP flush along the left (folded) edge, the Project Life Corner Punch provided just the right curve to mimic the curve of the GMC “C.” Over that I popped up a panel of Very Vanilla on some Stampin’ Dimensionals, stamped with the Oak Tree image in Basic Black. I dug through all of my sentiments and the “Happy Father’s Day” sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes really had the right feel to go along with the card. I finished everything off with a little b&w baker’s twine.

See ya next time … ink, ink, smudge, smudge!
