This is for the Q4TD11 challenge and the Queen this week is Grace! Her gallery and work is spectacular and I spent a couple of trips there to decide how on earth I could CASE such beauty. I found this pretty rose card that is on the left of the computer and my card is placed on the right in front of the computer. I used Mark's Finest Paper's rose and embossed it in gold embossing powder.
I've been a huge fan of Grace's work for sometime and I can't believe she has never been our recognized stamper or on the dirty girl team. She does do design work for various companies and it is no wonder.

I know just what you mean about Grace's gallery, Liz! Not an easy to do to case one of her creations! The card you've cased is so lovely; it's so done in Grace's signature style. Love the punched layer.
