CAS200 and Homage to Karen

Photo Details

Poster: UnderstandBlue

Happy birthday CAS challenge!! What an amazing run and such talented stampers who play along!

I think the first time I was aware of real CAS was when I started favoriting everything in Karen Dunbrook's gallery - she is just incredible.

So in addition to being inspired by this fabric, I CASE'd a k dunbrook card that I fell hard in love with: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2279503

Tutorial for my version is here: http://understandblue.blogspot.com/2...-december.html

Thank all of you for all the inspiration you provide every week - it's just a joy to behold.
