Tuesday's with The Spot! CASE the designer challenge

Hey Y'all!

It's Tuesday's with The Spot! This week we are challenging you to pick a card designed by Jay Soriano and CASE it. Just a quick recap if you aren't sure what CASE means. I was taught that it stands for "copy and steel everything". In reality, it's picking something from the card (layout, color scheme, or use of a product) and create a card with it. 

This is the card I decided to CASE. After last week's splatters challenge, I decided I wanted another go at it and this card gave me the opportunity to splatter some more. I also really love the impact that the simplicity of this has. There were sooo many projects to pick from that I really had a hard time narrowing it down. But I did ;) 

Let's dive in to my CASE of Jay's card.

Details for today's card

I knew the instant I saw this card that it would be a fantastic sketch! And the kind of sketches you come back to over and over again. I decided that I was CASEing the layout of this card and the splotches. 

For my card I used the stripe paper from the Ice Cream Corner suite. I love the happy colors and that it gave me light colors and dark colors to work with. The darkest stripe is Blackberry Bliss and the lightest is probably Purple Posey or So Saffron. In Jay's card he put black  against a light gray (Smoky Slate). I used the Blackberry Bliss against the Purple Posey. 

I decided make my large square out of Coastal Cabana cardstock. Where Jay stamped and colored, I used a striped paper. I splattered the background with Gorgeous Grape Stampin' Write marker. Some of the sprinkles from the Ice Cream Corner Suite and a little linen trim finish off this card. I used the Happy Birthday from the Sale-a-bration set called Approaching Perfection. I stamped it in Versamark and embossed it with White powder.
