This week our featured stamper is Ann (Dockside) who has a lovely gallery with many styles of card making to inspire us. There were many I could have chosen but I settled on this gorgeous one: FS341 Blue Rose Birthday by Dockside at Splitcoaststampers
I switched up the embossing folder, the flower and style of flower, and the sentiment. I used vellum for the flower and leaves, embossed them in white and then used copics to color them (mostly on the back of the vellum, but added some on the front in small doses). The main panel is popped up which I think adds a lot to a CAS card. I also added 2 score lines above the embossing.
Linking to FS414 (featured stamper) and also to CC512 (used our challenge colors), and WT513 (get well card).
Congrats, Ann, enjoy your week, and thanks for the inspiration!

Great CASE! LOVE that embossing folder. May have to do my own CASE as this layout would be great for sympathy cards, which my step-dad just told me I need to make for his stash (and mine!)

I love your card. It's a great use of the colors. The EF and the crisp clean flower really work together well. I agree that popping up that layer takes a CAS the extra mile.

Your embossed vellum flowers are gorgeous! I really like the look of the colours coming from underneath the embossing. That is a terrific EF on your main panel. What an uplifting card for someone who is under the weather to receive! Thank you for helping make this week so special!
