We have some incredible projects to show you today. What we are MOST excited about is having the talented Shannon Lane from Canada hopping along with us. 

Inspiration

So, not only are we hopping with Shannon, but the theme for the hop is 'Case-ing Shannon Lane.' This is the card I am Case-ing;

I made this card for Kylie. She knows I made the card - but she doesn't know its for her. When I think about all that she does - I just think that she is INCREDIBLE. So, this sentiment was PERFECT for her. So, Kylie, THANK-YOU for all you do for our family!


Enough gushing ...... now, the card.

The starting point was the awesome polished-concrete-look sheet of DSP. When I first opened the packet of paper, I was IMMEDIATELY drawn to this sheet because it looks like a flooring that I specified at work (my other life). I have been waiting for an opportunity to use it on a card.

Then, I stamped the cityscape on Basic Grey and then on Smoky Slate and then fussy-cuty this (full disclosure - I cut one of them but then after protesting how much I hate cutting things out like this, I 'volunteered' Kylie to do it for me, which she kindly acquiesced).  I then cut a strip of Delighful Dijon which was going to be the base for the sentiment.


I then stamped the super-hero (Kylie) onto Whisper White and coloured using markers (Delightful Dijon and Chocolate Chip). I cut this out using a circle from the Stiched Shape Framelits kit. I was about to mount this onto the card and Kylie suggested the starburst behind it. I thought that was a great idea, so using versamark, I stamped used one of the other stamps from the everyday hero to give some texture. I then cut this out using one of the Layering Circles Framelit.
