I love DinaÂ’s gorgeous gallery! There are so many cards I would like to CASE, but just donÂ’t have the ability to do them justice. Dina, is one very talented lady! I love her varied styles and her color sense. I chose this pretty card of DinaÂ’s as inspiration: MIX58 F4A211 Watercolor Thanks by dini at Splitcoaststampers. My card started out looking VERY much like hers. Then I decided to break out another die and make some changes. I cut a piece of white with SB/Valiant Honor die and while the CS was still in the die, I embossed it with Darice/Fall Leaves, then colored it with chalks. Cut 2 more pieces with SB/Decorative Labels 27, colored them with chalk and inset the smaller one. Cut a mat, the sentiment and punched 4 dots out of black. Added Glossy Accents to the dots. Dina is so worthy of this honor! PS: Thanks, Dina, for all the inspiration and wonderful tutorials!

Priscilla, a wonderful tribute to Dini......and I so agree with all the accolades you gave to her. Your card is lovely with its lacy-edged layers and blending of beautiful pastel colors.

Priscilla, I love your take on your inspiration of Dina's. The soft colors are so pretty and makes such a wonderful back drop for the sentiment "thank you".

Oh my gosh I love the rainbow coloring on this and the beautifully embossed dies you chose! Congratulations on being featured too! Your combination of colors with the beautiful designs you create from dies just amazes me! I tried this technique and cut the embossing folder (grin). Thanks too for always listing the names of your dies. You should see my wish list now!

I had that same embossing folder out this week! I love all the texture and layers and soft colors you used - thank you so much for your kind words, and for choosing this card to case! So beautiful.
