Less Is More - Case it!

Good morning LIMettes! I have to be quick this morning as it's Keiran's Birthday party today so lots to do!

This week at Less Is More, Chrissie and Jen are asking us to Case one of their cards!

Now, Jen's card looks like the easier option, but I thought I would have a go at Chrissie's one instead as it's a technique I've been meaning to try for a while!

Here is my card...

I have used the Elements of Style stamp set and the Alphabet Typeset Bigz Dies. 

 Here is Chrissie's card that I have Cased

I'm also entering my card into the colour challenge at Create with Connie and Mary
2013 Thursday Challenges-011
CASology - Word
Shopping Our Stash - Text or Letters
Just Add Ink - New Technique

 EDIT; The tutorial for this technique is now available here...Enjoy! :)

    Stunning! It must have been really tricky to get the stamped image and letters positioned correctly.

    Wow Lizy this is gorgeous. Love how you've cased Chrissie's card. Maybe I'll check out Jen's card though. This technique looks tricky.

    Hope Keiran has a lovely time at his party. Happy Birthday to Keiran if it's today or when it comes.
