I decided to pay in the CAS challenge this week after seeing Nancy Littrell's gorgeous card. I was actually going to case her as well trying to use the Elements of Style set instead of the one she used, but when I got the set out, I just went crazy and stamped my whole paper except one little section. That little section with white "spoke" to me and told me to make the card this way instead. Thanks for the inspiration Nancy!
I actually made it a few days ago but wanted to add a butterfly. I can't seem to find my butterfly embosslet so I had to load it butterfly-less.
PT - one punch used 3 times.

Oh this is a beauty. I love the torn border, that is a nice interesting piece on this card and gives it great texture. The June Cleaver pearls make it so elegant!!! Awesome!

You are officially Nutzi. Cards are talking to you. You are talking to cards. Makes you a perfect Punchie! Love the results - glad you listened to the little section that spoke to you because this turned out wonderfully. Great card.
