I'm uploading late on Sunday but was happy to have had time to stamp today!! This card is for two challenges - Saturday's Inspiration and Friday's Queen for the Day.
This week's queen is Stamp300, aka Connie Jones. What a truly wonderful gallery to visit! Connie - your cards are so delightful!! So many beautiful, fun and very special designs - I enjoyed my visit and am thankful for the opportunity to CASE one of your beauties!
Here is Connie's Stunning CAS that inspired my card: {Pearl Flourish}
Changes were added layers, nesties, sponging, different punched borders and added ribbon.
Also took inspiration from Kirkland's website for the IC Challenge (Thanks Stef)- I chose this pretty floral: {Hydrangea & Peony}
This card started out as a CAS but took on a life of it's own - each time I tried to assemble it this little voice said 'not yet'... Several layers later LOL... here it is!! This card will go to one of my fellow Punchkateerz for an upcoming Birthday. Hope you like it Emzi!!!!
Thanks everyone for taking a peek!
Enjoy your Sunday!
Hugs,
Audrey

EEEEEK!! I think I saw something that's coming my way. How exciting!! I tried not to look at it too closely--I love surprises. Although my impression is that there's so much detail, I could gaze at it for hours now and STILL spot all kinds of new, unnoticed details once I have it in my hot little hands. Aw, Audzi. You are too kind. I'll be waiting by my mailbox!!!!
