Oh what a wonderful Christmas we had! All five of my sons were able to celebrate the season (and one another) with us. The down side of a houseful of offspring and girlfriends was virtually no time to create for nearly two weeks...or to acknowledge our Queen. I have so much respect for Miss Boo AKA Jen as a stamper and as an ambassador for the CAS style. I chose to CASE this clean card: CAS130 - With love by Miss Boo at Splitcoaststampers
I thought it fitting to make this card also fit this week's CAS Challenge, to use die cuts.
Cut several Nestie Dahlias from Cherry Cobbler, gave them some dimension with my stylus (Love you, Kittie!) and assembled with Glossy Accents. Added Liquid Pearls. Cut the Savannah border (Memory Box) from CTMH black. Assembled all on a Flourishes White card, then stamped the TSG Sentiment. PT - 8
Belated congratulations and best wishes to our Queen Emeritus - and thanks Jen for all that you do. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Marie, your die cut dahlia's are so gorgeous in C Cobbler. Also love how you added the extra dimension with your stylus. Your flourishes and sentiment are perfect too. TFS and so happy you were able to have all your boys home for the holidays. TFS

Oh Marie this is gorgeous. Love those layered flowers. They are so beautiful and the way you arranged them on you card has made them stand out beautifully. How creative to use the word flourish with the die cut. It's lovely!

Gorgeous flowers! What a beautiful card. The flourish and dimension on the flowers are wonderful. I love the way your sentiment has flourish meaning one thing and then you have a flourish that supports it but has a different meaning. Your cards are getting super deep girl - LOVE it!!!
