I have been stamping with Karen Dunbrook long distance since our days on the Innovative Stamp Creations Design Team with Julie Warner and here on Splitcoast. Her clean and simple and yet dramatic, creative, and fun style captivates my attention all the time as I really struggle with CAS cards. Any growth I have shown in CAS has been inspired by Karen and the other 'queens of CAS'.
Hopefully I have managed to not disgrace Karen's fabulous creation.
Thanks so much for looking.
Edited to add.....app. the REAL challenge was to do whatever you wanted .....the challenge Ii did was last week's.......oh well....I always did want to case Karen.......lol!!!

There's no time limit on the challenges, so you are safe from the challenge police in two ways, last week, and this week being a true free for all. I have long been a fan of Karen's work too. This is lovely and in my favourite colour ....turquoise!

I see the CASE from Karen's card, but it also has a different feel from hers. I love both hers and yours! Love the piercing on the flag and up the panel and the geometric patterns on the image panel! Uplifting!
