This is very CAS for me! I hope this will qualify for the CAS274 May FLowers challenge.
I had this brilliant idea to add micro beads to the centers of the flowers. I stupidly put the bottle down with out the lid.... while preparing the glue. Have you ever noticed if you drop any of these little micro beads they race around like they are alive? My elbow hit the lidless container and microbeads went all over me, the floor and my desk. They hit the plastic thing my chair rolls around on and 500,000 microbeads raced around like they had suddenly come alive! :-0 They never made it to the card. I cleaned up the mess, recapped the jar and put what I could salvage away. Maybe it happened for the best because I think I like it plain. The inlaid die was cut out of an unknown paper and then cut again from the card front. (Be SURE to keep ALL the peices) I then placed the unknown paper die cut in the cut on the front. I cut three "thanks" from Memory Box and glued together and added the twine bow. I border cut two extra edges and glued to the back of the already bordercut edge. DONE! Except for the clean up of microbeads this went together very quickly. :-)
Thank you for looking!
Edit: The border is actually three punched borders from EKSuccess. It cuts and embosses if you press hard enough!

I just 'had' to Favorite this beautiful card! It's wonderful but the 'draped' border is what really grabbed my attention...I have that punch and have used it only once. I love how pretty the layering works. Also, I have yet to try the inlaid diecut technique but this is a wonderful reminder that I must try it. TFS

WOW!! First of all, love your story...you sound like you could be related at this moment to our beloved Susie Australia!!! She would love your story about the micro beads.
I LOVE your "CAS" flower card. Heehee, you do CAS about like me, not very CAS but I don't think any CAS police will throw you into the brig for such a lovely card!!! (no offence to any CAS police out there if there are such a thing, heehee!)
I love your card and I think I must go home from work today and do one too, or something similar anyway!!

It is difficult to type and laugh at the same time. I have been so busy lately (and also away) that I have missed so much at SCS. Our sweet Robin told me about this gem. Oh my gosh Peggy, this is gorgeous. I never thought I would use the words Peggy and CAS is the same sentence....wow you nailed it my friend. xx
