CASEing Kelly Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to the CASEing Kelly blog hop! I hope you are enjoying the hop so far. I'm sure you can all tell how much we all love Kelly and her cards.

This first card of Kelly's amazes me....although I should say that all of Kelly's cards amaze me. :)  I love the colors and the modern look of it.


This second card is so vibrant and the touch of black really makes those beautifully colored flowers pop, doesn't it?


And this third card is another beauty. Look at those pink flowers on that gorgeous background. What's not to love?!


The CASE: 




I love the watercolored background that Kelly created on the first card so I did something similar on my card. I also love how she always colors her flowers with such vibrant colors so I added a bright pink flower to my card, along with the bright pink die cut greeting. I couldn't resist. And lastly, I love the touch of black she adds to make the other colors pop so I added a black border and stamped part of the greeting in black ink.

Thanks Kelly for your awesome CASEing Genius blog posts. You and your cards inspires us all! :)

    Kathy,

    I love the attention to detail you have to each part of the card as you chose parts of the three cards you had chosen to CASE. I am noticing as I am about halfway through the hop that each of the participants are taking themselves out of their comfort zone and finding that they are creating things they never could have imagined. I think that is what Kelly tries to do with this series, and I think it is lovely to see all of you paying that back. It is so inspiring to me and I love the crafting community for all the kindness and friendship they share with each other.

    What a challenge to select *only* three favourites from Kelly's amazing arsenal of creativity, but wow...you managed to narrow down some real treasures. Your case: simply awesome! Such a marvelous hop to put the spotlight on someone who allows so many others to shine. Heart-warming and touching!
