Hello!
Tonight I snuck to my craft desk right after I tucked the kids into bed to make a card for CASE Study #157 and Curtain Call challenges. I've been staring at the CASE Study inspiration card by Kathy Racoosin since it went live last week, and sifting through various ideas. Tonight this card came to me.
I used PTI Rosie Posie and Sentiment Signs stamps. Ink is SU! Gumball Green, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, PTI Fresh Linen, Delicata Gold, and Ranger Archival Black. Twine is from the Twinery.
My take on Kathy's card uses pretty much every element as inspiration. Firstly, I went with the big bright flower. I was pondering the stripes and the vellum, and I decided to reflect those in the sentiment lines stamped on vellum, and I also added a little bit of striped washi tape up the side of my card. My little green twine bow is a nod to Kathy's ribbon.
For Curtain Call, I was responding to the Sunflower theme. I would have loved to have used burlap and raffia, but I had neither. I did make a big, luscious sunflower bloom, though!
Before I go, I'll share a little close up of my card, which hopefully shows to golden highlights on my flower.
Thanks for visiting me!

This is so pretty . . . the words on the vellum as an overlay over your beautiful sunflower looks fantastic!
This is gorgeous, Michelle! I love your rock n rolled sunflower and the vellum sentiment panel is perfect!
This is just beautiful. I love how you used the vellum. I can never seem to stamp without getting smudged, so I am especially impressed with your lack of smudges on your vellum.
There you go blowing all the other entries away with your gorgeous take on the challenge(s).
Such a perfect use of that sentiment over the bright and cheerful flower! Thanks for joining us at Curtain Call!
