CiSC #4 - Lift the Person Before You

This is a mid-challenge post for Clearly iStamp Blog Challenge #4 - Lift the Person Before You.

Kathy's Directions:  Go to the blog of the person before you and find a crafty project that inspires you. "Lift" the design, elements, theme, sketch, etc. In your post tell us who and what you "lifted" (if you can post the project or/and link to the project"

My person to lift on our design team is Dee Pritschet. 

What is the same:
Her easel card had a fun fold and an image and sentiment I'd been wanting to use.
I also used the pre-colored images like Dee did.

What is different:
I changed the fold to a cascading card,
fussy cut the images instead of keeping it intact,
flipped the main image horizontally for more flowers,
and used a different color scheme.

Here is Dee's fun card that I lifted:

My color scheme came fro the pre-colored images which I thought matched the Sarita double-sided paper.

You can see the folds better from the side view and the top view.

The flowers and dragonfly were adhered in such a way that a small part overlapped the sections of the two pieces so that it wouldn't slide apart. I added an extra border on top of the last section and a mat on back to sign or write a brief message.

You can  find the tutorial directions I used on this blog below:

If you haven't joined this fun challenge yet, I hope you'll be inspired to check out a person ahead of you and make a card that is the same and that differs in some ways. We'd love to see how this inspires you! 

Any type of crafty project is allowed as long as it meets the theme.
