That was a fun gallery to case.....her style is so different from mine that it is a challenge for me - one of the things I LOVE about her stamping is all the backgrounds she makes with like blocking different colors and so I chose a card like that to case:
I used the same layout, similar colors, different stamps and added paper piercing and white gel pen accents. I used a sponge dauber with my riding hood red pad to dye the new SU white satin ribbon....and I am thrilled to know I could have this ribbon in any color now!! YIPPEE - LOVE it!! The only nasty part on this card was cutting out that flower....yikes, about half way thru you feel like cutting it into little pieces and heaving it into the ocean.....anyway - hope you like my rendition of her wonderful card!

This is GORGEOUS, Karen! LOVE the dyed satin ribbon! Let me know if it fades over time. That's what I found was happening with the taffeta ribbon when I was dying it with a dauber and ink pad...such a bummer! It looks FANTASTIC here!!!

I really love this card! I totally feel your pain with the whole "cutting out the pieces" nightmare! I almost ditch mine after cutting out the fourth image.
GREAT JOB!

Karen, these are such lovely colors!! That branch of flowers is so beautiful, and the ribbon is just the perfect color to tie (pun intended!) it all together! Great case!!!

Beautiful! This is like the new and improved version of this card. The faux stitching and DP really adds to this. I think we better find you some flowers that are easier to cut out! Ha! Thanks so much for taking the time to play along!
