What a fun challenge (TLC219)! I knew this morning that I had to make a quick one since this is just one of 20-30 Anniversary cards I need to make today. A friend asked me to help her make Anniversary cards to send to the troops in Iraq that they in turn could send to their loved ones. When you have that quantity, they have to CAS! I used my swirls Cuttlebug folder for my waxed paper resist and brayered it with baja breeze ink. Since it was on glossy paper, the color was different than the Baja Breeze CS so I used Cool Carribean CS to match it instead. I love the color!
The layout I cased from last week's featured stamper, Kathy. I loved this card and didn't have a chance to case it last week ( VSAPR3 - Blue Birthday by Wattle at Splitcoaststampers ). I changed the colors, stamps, sentiment, ribbon, and embellishments as well as added two smaller butterflies.
Stamps: SU Flowers of Gratitude, Our DAily Bread Designs sentiment from Love set.
Paper: glossy white paper for embossed wax paper resist, MS Playful Blue Pad, Cool Carribean CS
Accessories: pearls (Hero arts available at Our Daily Bread Designs0, EK Success Punch, Marvy Uchida mini butterfly punch, MS Butterfly punch, brayer, Baja Breeze ink, square and rectangle nestabilities, sheer ribbon

Beautiful! Ah, Cool Caribbean, one of the 'lost' In-Colors... One I was sad to see disappear... Great job on CASEing Kathy's card - I chose the same one for FS116 - you did a wonderful job. Your CB bg looks fabulous - simply 'divine'! What a wonderful cause to contribute your cards to...
