Waltzingmouse Flower Show CASEd card ....

..... Hi, good afternoon all.  Seems time has rather passed me by this week with no cards since Saturday!!!


Last week, Claire hosted a wonderful Flower Show on her blog with cards from many fabulous designers, - showing off some pretty spring flowers.  Today it's the competition, Waltzingmouse Flower Show CASE  - pick your favourite card/project, CASE it and share it.  Well, it was really tough to pick just one card - I loved them all, but in the end I decided to CASE a card by JJ Bolton.  JJ makes the most beautiful CAS style cards and she actually did two for the Flower Show.  Here's my take on JJ's card:



Stamps:  WMS - Folk Art Medallion, Say It Loud, Folk Art Labels No 25
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Lucky Limeade; Versamark
Dies: Spellbinders - Grand Circles (LF-114) #1
Accessories: Black Embossing powder; SU Card - Melon Mambo;White Lustre Card; Vellum



I absolutely love JJ's card and have been totally faithful to the layout of her card.  I changed up the colour of the flower, using this week's Colour Q - cQc186 challenge colours, and I changed the sentiment to read "Birthday". 



I made a few extra mini medallions to go inside the card.  I cut a mat layer in Melon Mambo card and stamped the sentiment onto some white card, finishing off with the mini medallions.


I'm really pleased with this card, but I think I might have CASE another card (or two) as the competition is open until 30th April.

That's all for now.  Take care.

    Oooh I love the colors on the first and the smart medallions on the second. The die cuts are so clean and crisp and so cool how the outer fing looks like stitching!

    I haven't played with my medallion yet so was tempted to CASE JJ too but I wanted to make a card for mum with big flowers on. Your take on it is beautiful though - the colours work so well and your stamping is perfect!
