When I saw that Linda (Holstein) was the FS, I knew I had to case one of her cards! She is an amazing artist and has truly inspired me! I cased: CASholidayJuly2011Q Happy birthday by Holstein at Splitcoaststampers
I love nautical items, and since I have the Schooner stamp set, it was an easy choice for me. I have an oval cutout, but it wasn't the right size, so I had to cut some of it off to make it work. I sponged using Elegant Eggplant and Summer Sun because my son will be graduating from James Madison University in May and these are the school colors. I actually googled purple oceans so I could see how one should look. The Curly Label Punch and Sentiment are popped up. Silver Brads and a large brad were used. Thank you, Linda for challenging me to do something I've never attempted! Congratulations! Blessings to you today. ~Roberta

Wow! Lovely masked and sponged background and your stamped images look wonderful! I can't believe you have never done this before, because you knocked it out of the park!
