When I saw Karen Dunbook was this week's Queen I was soooo excited!! I am in awe of Karen's amazing CAS style - every design has that truly special WOW factor.
Karen - I LOVE your design style! As much as I try I've not yet mastered anything close to your beautiful CAS creations.
I decided on this absolutely GORGEOUS card of Karen's: {Freshness of Spring}
Changes were with stampset, Nestie, papers, punches and embossing folder. Kept Karen's fabulous layout.
Further inspiration for this card came from today's Inspiration Challenge website - what a nice surprise to visit this unique on-line store called Ruche. So many fun things and so reasonably priced!! Checked out the jewelry first and right away found this unique ring with a beautiful Rose that reminded me of a couple of SU! Rose stampsets: {Yellow Rose Cab Ring} Thanks Stef!!
The Rose and leaves were stamped, then penciled over to give more depth to the images. This card is going to one of my fellow Punckateer Pals who has a birthday coming up in April - Happy Birthday Quiltzi!!
Thanks everyone for looking!
Thank you Karen for sharing your beautiful art!
Enjoy your weekend,
Hugs,
Audrey
