I decided to browse Julia's gallery and CASE a card: HYCCT How Special You Are FS299 by artystamper at Splitcoaststampers
I liked the rather modern look of the gingko with a more vintage looking sentiment so I tried to do the same. My card is 5.5x5.5 inches square. I'm into square cards lately. I edged the top panel with the pebble ink to make it stand out a bit. Looking at Julia's gallery today reminded me that I need to browse it more often. Such lovely work, and yes, CAS is never simple.

I love how you offset the two stamped images and paired them with a vintage-looking sentiment! Square cards are fun to work with, aren't they? So much more space to play with but with a different sense of balance...

Beautiful case. I love the look of the stamp and the simplicity of this adds to the beauty. I really like the 5.5 square but I'm cheap and do 4.25 squares for an A2 envie!!
