Some of the earliest challenges that I played on SCS were the color challenges. The hostess Betty aka gbedwrite would create samples so amazing that I was too intimidated to even comment! In order to CASE Betty I paraphrased the question WWJD. Betty always seems to use multiple DP patterns, wonderful layouts, pearl flourishes and sumptuous bows. She will often use Flourishes stamps and I will be forever grateful to her for introducing me to those wonderful images. Everything comes together in an elegant and beautiful creation that I know I'll never be able to replicate. I did try though, and chose this card to CASE: Happy Fall! by gbedwright at Splitcoaststampers
Kept the layout but changed the image to Flourishes Magnolias, changed the colors and DP's, changed the frame and added the pearl flourish and butterfly. The last addition qualifies this for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge #167, details on the Flourishes blog. PT - 3
Betty, enjoy your week as Queen. Thanks you all so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

Marie this is absolutely stunning. Living in Georgia, I just love Magnolias. You have colored these to perfection. Their sweet fragrance fills the air in the warm breezes here. Love your layout and pretty embellies. Beautifully done.

Wow! This is a fantastic card full of flowers and life! I love how you used bright and cheery papers, and that your butterfly is on the patterned paper, too!
Thank you for joining us in Flourishes Timeless Tuesday!

You've got Betty's bows down wonderfully! Lovely flower and framing of the image. Nice case.
