Hi and welcome. Today I'm playing along in a CASE It blog hop over on Instagram. I thought I would post here too because this is where I keep the record of all my cards. But I encourage you to head over to Instagram and check out the other cards in the hop. The hop starts with Nancy and I am the last stop on the hop. For my case, I have had this card by JJ Bolton saved in my IG for a few years now. Originally I was going to do cardstock strip weaving but my cardstock strips were a little too wide for the cover die I chose, so I ended up doing inlaid die-cutting which took way longer, but I like the result. I also didn't use bright colours like the inspiration card but went with more muted tones.
I did stick with the circle element in the centre but added my die-cut flower to the bottom left rather than the top of the circle.
Here is JJ Bolton's card that inspired me. I hope you can see the inspiration.
Thanks for visiting.

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I LOVE how that background came out. I would NEVER have the patience to put all those tiny pieces of paper back in to that background die. I love the addition of the large flower with the same colors.
