I absolutely love Cathleen's cards. They are all works of art. Lots of times when doing a challenge, or, in this case, honoring a Queen cardmaker, I try to make a card I actually need for an upcoming event. I need a birthday card for one of my sons-in-law whose favorite color is orange. Now this is a challenge! In the photograph, the orange CS looks more yellow than orange, but IRL it is quite orange.
I changed the sketch slightly to the one used for SC277. The sketches are quite similar. I used different Verve stamps and different DP. I love the tailored look and clean lines of Cathleen's card and hope I captured them.
Congrats, Cathleen, you are indeed an inspiration!!

Wow! You captured Cathleen's card so well and it is an awesome, masculine birthday card. I think your son-in-law is sure to love and appreciate it. I really like those paper-pieced balloons.
