Challenge #8: CASE Donna Mikasa With Your Own Twist

Good morning friends of TIME OUT Challenges!

See the FABULOUS card above? It's time for a CASE With Your Own Twist Challenge again! The card we are casing is made by Donna Mikasa and you can read all about the techniques and details of it in her blog three umbrellas.  Let's make sure everyone is familiar with CASEing: CASE is short for copy and share everything. We also ask you to add your own twist... So what do we mean by that? Have a look at Donna's card, see what inspires you and then add your own twist... that is basically something a bit different. There's so much gorgeousness to be inspired from in this card: the colors, the stencil technique, gold embossing, butterflies... We love your card, Donna!

Let's get to know Donna a bit better, shall we! 

Hello! 

My name is Donna Mikasa and I'm thrilled to be CASEd here at TIME OUT Challenges. My blog is three umbrellas which is a literal translation of my last name (in Japanese). I was born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Oahu and have been crafting for many, many years. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, who happens to be my biggest supporter and loves to critique my work. I'm a paperholic and love to collect and hoard patterned paper. At last count, I have over 200 paper pads! Maybe one I'll use it to wallpaper my craft room. 

Donna joined us in the fun and CASEd herself! Here's her take:

Be sure to visit Donna's blog for all the details! 

Now it's time to see what the TIME OUT DT and our guest designer Marzena have made for your inspiration. We are happy to have talented  Marzena joining us this time! Welcome!
