Well that's how it feels anyway. This morning I got a lovely email from Claire Brennan (Waltzingmouse stamps) to say that I had won a refund on the order I put in last week. Absolutely speechless was I (though in a typing sort of way). So it is appropriate that the first challenge was CASEing one of the design teams cards from the Grand Calibur party. The card I chose, an absolute hands down favourite for me, is from Belinda Chang Langner
Just love the subtlety and peacefulness of this card. Mine however, is not, and lost abit I think,with using too strong a colour in cardstock. I only have nestie-friendly WM stamps (this is being fixed) so unable to use any of Claire's stamps.

ReplyDeleteYou amaze me. You keep on rolling out even more beautiful cards every time. Very inspirational. I love the roses. I also love the hearts.
ReplyDeleteI think your CASE card is fabulous. And for me the bright colours work just as well as Belinda's! I think the rosebuds are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Valentine hearts card is ace!!
Absolutely lovely! Love the colors you chose - just fabulous and the use of the rose bud!! Your second card is just lovely as well -- the stamped hearts are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteSweet card! Charming bow! Thanks so much for playing along with us at PPA this week.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards. I particularly love the fun heart card.
ReplyDeleteTwo beaut cards. I have to disagree with you on the lack of peacefulness on your WMS CASE. I am totally transported to a peaceful and totally shabby-licious place on viewing this lovely card. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards! The WMS CASE card is lovely with the roses and the pink and green.
ReplyDeleteI like both of them - and your trellis idea is not lost.
