Call me crazy, trying to CASE one of Michelle Zindorf's cards! She was stamping long before I ever discovered this wonderful artform. I took a workshop with her earlier this year and it opened a whole new world for me! I will never attain her level of expertise with a brayer and inks, but what I did learn from her gives me great satisfaction.
I chose THIS CARD of Michelle's which was a 2004 card. Looks like brayering didn't enter her gallery cards until 2007....unless I missed one in 2006. I was immediately drawn to the crimped band on this card...a forgotten tool in my toolbox. She did not have a brayered bg, but I added one since to me, it is her "signature". I changed colors, images and added some black rhinestones.
Thanks, Michelle!

What a great choice you've made to CASE today, Sallie. I'm personally glad you took Michelle's class so that we can see these gorgeous creations every day in the gallery. This CASE is gorgeous especially with the added brayered background, and a wonderful way to say thanks to Michelle for the inspiration she's provided to all of us.
