Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

CASING Cindy Elam!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary. Our team continues casing one of our own team designers and this week is Cindy Elam. I browsed her blog recently and picked this card to copy:

You can see that Cindy created a card with mostly blue tones. She used Misty Moonlight and Boho Blue with a little bit of Basic White. For my card, I choose to use the Countryside Inn Designer Paper and the Beary Cute Bundle:

I wanted to create a scenery like Cindy did on the round layer so I chose an image from the Grassy Grove stamp set. I love the polar bear that I stamped and cut with the coordinating punch:
