of Karen's I knew I wanted to CASE it because just the other day, I'd picked up a scrap of drywall tape from the construction of a new house down the street. Also, Karen used one of my favourite flower stamps so I wanted to use them on my CASE as well.
I changed the colour scheme to pink, used Glimmer Mist to spray over the drywall tape instead of ink like Karen used, changed the orientation to landscape, added a sprig of leaves, and put my sentiment on a fancy die tag.
The drywall background is done on watercolour paper (when I tried it on cardstock, the Glimmer Mist didn't soak in properly). The cardbase is a rustic pale pink cs. I stamped and heat embossed the flowers with white sparkly ep on the same pale pink cs, cut them out, and slightly shaped them to give some dimension. The sentiment is stamped on the pink cs in a green that is close to my pale green leaves. The main panel and the flowers are popped up on dimensionals.
Thank you, Karen, for all the inspiration I get from you and all you do for SCS!
The card is also for the Ways to Use It challenge to create your own background.

Oh gosh, I love both your background (very pretty!) and the way you combined Fabulous Florets with a diecut foliage. This is such a soft and pretty card.
