This one-layer card is for a couple of challenges - the first is for a Queen who was crowned back in June of this year - Roberta (aka Stampin' Nana). I was unable to play that week and since that time have had the opportunity to meet Roberta - and I can tell you she is an absolute sweetheart. Her zest for life and fun positive energy is just a joy to experience - I'm grateful for her friendship !!
I struggle with CAS cards but she is such an inspiration that I decided to CASE one of her recent CAS cards that I fell in love with - here's her beautiful creation: { RobertaÂ’s Beautiful Thanksgiving Pumpkin Card }
Changes are different image and sentiment, no DSP on mine, different ribbon and added scallop border.
This card is also for today's Free for All challenge - to use fruit or vegetables in your project. I immediately thought of this fun set from 2005 called Stew Pot Pals!! Here's a link to today's F4A145 challenge: { Use Fruits or Vegetables on a card }
To make this card I stamped the Turnip, colored him with Copics, then stamped him again on paper, fussy-cut him and then used that piece as a mask. Final step was to stamp over the image with SU's Houndstooth background. To get the ribbon in the right place delicately cut two little slits around Mr. Turnip and weaved the ribbon through.
Thanks everyone for taking a peek !!!
Blessings,
Adurey

Oh my goodness, Audrey, you really did pull off a cas card after all! I'm impressed! And how sweet of you to go way back and case one of my cards too! Thank you for your encouraging words and for being my friend. : ) The sentiment goes for the two of us. I love your coloring technique on this bright, pretty card-it's so fun! And your ribbon is short and sweet too-just perfect for this turnip. I love how his arms are crossed, almost like he's giving himself a hug! Hey, that can be a hug from me to you. I appreciate you playing along to celebrate my special week, Audrey! Hugs and Blessings to you~

Audzi, a fantastic CAS card. Are you going to the "dark" side? LOL! OMG, that image and sentiment are perfect. Your coloring is great and I like the long length of your card. I bet it killed you to leave that white space, but you DID it and it's awesome. I'll have to go back and do a card for Roberta. I didn't know she was royalty too. I know you enjoyed meeting Roberta and I'm so happy for the two of you. I hope to meet her some day too! Hugs!
