This is for CAS22--Hey, Hey, It's your birthday! The CAS22 challenge can be found here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Full disclosure: I made this yesterday as part of my New Year's Resolution to use every image stamp I have on a card. I plowed through PTI's Green Thumb yesterday and made about 10 different cards. When I woke this morning, I realized this one fit the challenge. I LOVE these sorts of coincidences!
Anywho, very simple card. the border strip has a narrow piece of old olive behind it so the holes in the threading water punch show olive...like the olive gem in the center of the flower. the whole stamped panel is popped up on dimensionals.
Hope you like it!

Admiring your resolution, Susan, and I can't wait to see what beautiful cards you make with the images. This one is so lovely! I love the way you used the old olive in your design.

I love this Susan. I'm a huge admirer of your "style"!! You make the most beautiful CAS cards I've ever seen. You pack a punch in every one of them with the most limited supplies. I don't know how you do it. Like this one, your addition of that grasshopper made this card really take on a whole personality. The flower with the one rhinestone would look great without the grasshopper too, but adding him to the stem just takes it to another league all together. Keep up the great work. I have trouble with CAS cards and every once in awhile I'll try one. Your gallery will be the first one I hit to look for inspiration!!! Have a great day! TFS!

Very cute! Love the gem on the flower. It brings it all together.
I've been meaning to do the same with my stamps. My problem is that I also have tons of Wish RAK images. I'll never finish! Maybe that means I don't need anymore stamps. LOL!
