Congratulations, Misti, for being this week's Featured Stamper! I love your work, and it was a joy to visit your gallery and finally decide what card to CASE. I was inspired by this beautiful card Misti made to honor and thank Angie for being a CAS hostess. I kept it CAS as Misti did, but I embossed the matted layer and matted/pierced my focal image (that also has three major blooms). I did add a white bow. And of course, I spent the most enjoyable part of making this card coloring - the most relaxing thing I do these days! Oh, and this is the first card I've posted that I used the MISTI! Wow, do I love that tool! (So I used my MISTI for Misti - grin - sorry!)
Thanks for taking a closer look, and it was so nice to finish a card for a challenge on the day! Hope you all have a fabulous week. For more details, visit my blog. Hugs!

Love that pretty delicate embossed pattern on the white bg and your peonies are absolutely gorgeous!

Beautifully put together, Cheryl! Love the corals...and I love how you highlight your floral images in yellow/gold. Makes them so warm and sunny!! Your Copic skills are crazy good (I know I've said that before...but really they are!) Hugs!!

How I miss not having Peonies in Phoenix! But we have a Creator who provides us with many forms of beauty if we just look for it. Your card is impeccable, as always, and your coloring is just beautiful.

Cheryl, your card is BEAUTIFUL! The coloring of the peonies is so expertly done and the faint tan outlining really gives them definition against the white bg. The CAS layout is lovely...has interest but still remains CAS IMO. A lovely way to honor Misti.

What a fabulous card. I have just come in from pruning the dead wood from one of my tree peonies - there are little shoots on it - so spring just has to be on its way. You have coloured the flowers so nicely in those delicate shades of pink. As always - just the perfect pretty card.
