When Faith aka Markiesmom was Queen I was quite intimidated in CASEing one of her cards, so I should have been with this weeks Queen Gingerbeary8 as well. Carol makes some of the most intricately constructed cards here on SCS with an unrivaled level of detail week in and week out. But because she is so sweet, kind and downright fun I viewed this challenge in a different way. I know that I will never reach Carol's level of competence, but I chose to use her tutorial to make the most detailed card that I have ever done. The tutorial can be found here: Napkin Fold Card Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
My version is less ornate and much more casual than Carol's (can you tell that I spent part of my vacation at the coast?) but I had a blast stretching my abilities and learning a lot about her process. I chose to use a version of the weeks challenge colors to try to get one more challenge in ;) Edit: Punchy pal and card-making dervish Nancy Williams keyed me in to the Twisted challenge, so I guess this fits there too! PT - 15 or so
Carol, enjoy your well-deserved reign as Queen. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Awesome beachy card with the twist of the napkin fold - you are adventurous, for sure!! I was so skeered when I saw that - I ran the other direction, but you filled the bill and then some - Add TSC0729 to your keywords and join the twisted ones challenge this week - You did an awesome job on the theme!

Wow! Marzi Marie, looks like this came off without a bit of trouble or trials. Super job and I love the beach theme. A great case and Carol will be pleased as punch...er, did I say that? Well, it was punch, not punches. Don't confuse the two. LOL
