Case Study Challenge #142

This week's cards at Case Study were so gorgeous!  I was super inspired by Maile's card and the beautiful flowers!  I am more and more appreciating the CAS style when I really want to showcase a stamp set I love.  Which is totally this set.

This flower comes from the soon-to-be-retired (as in T-minus 5 days) Button Buddies set from Stampin' Up.  I used masking and some fussy cutting to get these babies on there, which took me, 2 but so close to 3 tries.  But it was oh so worth it.  :)

Case Study #137

Today I got to play along with the Case Study Challenge blog.  This month's muse was Julie Ebersole.  I love the way she uses stamping on her cards to make them really pop.  Plus, you should just check out her blog because she is super hilarious too!

Out of her springy card came my wintery one?  Weird how that works, but it just did.  I wanted to layer up some stamps and keep it clean and simple like she did.  I used the Watercolor Winter set from Stampin' Up, the wood roller, and of course, Stampin' Up cardstock--the best cardstock in the world.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
