These challenges that are posted weekly are designed to help us *stretch* ourselves and step out of our boxes. How hard can a CASE be? Well, when you're CASE'ing Cindy, with her attention to detail, that can be a challenge in itself. Here's the card I CASEd from her gallery: Cindy Haffner's Elegant Eggplant Roses by cindy_haffner at Splitcoaststampers
This card was so out of my comfort zone that it's a good thing ya'll can't see my right now. My stretch marks are ghastly!!! lol. Anyway, I don't use markers to color *except when spritzing*, I rarely emboss, and I don't use bright colors....thus the stretch marks. If ya tell me to go back to my *naturals* I'll completely understand. lol
It is an honor Cindy to be able to learn from your creativity! tfl

Okay, I am calling the computer guy....I need to know how I can reach through this computer and nab this card from you.....I could do it when you are on Splitcoast (or could I? Surely you are not on 24/7...Yikes!) Anyway, this is the card I so want to mail my mom for Mother's Day! I could try to case it, a case of a case! But...I don't really like embossing....but I might have to force myself to!
It is incredibly beautiful! (Cindy - thank you too!)

What a wow Card!! Glad you stepped out of your comfort zone. Where did you get the idea or scallop behind the circle of friendship sentiment. I just bought that set and am looking for new ways to use it? thanks, Chris
