Casing Pinterest - Latte Love

If you've never heard of casing, the traditional meaning of casing in the card world is - CASE - Copy And Steal Everything.  In my making it's a bit more of casing in the sense of canvassing looking for ideas and then using what I have rather than copying the idea.  If you follow Ardyth Percy Robb on Youtube it's similar to her LIMES method. 

When I'm stumped for ideas or feel blocked creatively I usually hop on Pinterest and scroll through the ideas I've pinned.  I pick a design that pops out at me and I run with it.  

This design caught my eye because of the red and white sentiment.  I also loved the idea of a coffee card.  From here I set about using the inspiration card as a sketch to follow for the layout combined with coffee and the red and white sentiment.

I started with a patterned paper that would coordinate with the red and white sentiment idea, which happened to be some mini polka-dot paper.  Following the card layout of the inspiration card, I dropped a small circle in the lower right corner.  I pulled coffee stamps out and Copic colored my cup.  I used a tag to build my sentiment strip.  For the finish touches, I pulled some red gems from my stash.
