Hi there! Long time, no blogging ...
I've been in a bit of stamping slump lately, so I decided to CASE (copy and share for everyone) a card I found online (created by Carrie Gaskin, the Artistic Avenger - love her work!). When I get into a slump, I find that CASE'ing gets me back into the swing of things.
A good friend of mine recently went through a major surgery and I wanted to send some heartfelt wishes in the form of a handmade card. This card fit the bill perfectly.
I am loving the way this turned out, gorgeous colors, fun layout and use of many different punches. It may be hard to see, but I even used the Lots of Love letterpress plate on my Sahara Sand background.
So, what do you think? Stamping this card inspired me to make a few more... I hope to share those with you very soon.

Great card...wonderful mix of colors and I love the layout and use of a variety of punches. Can't wait to try something like this myself. Casing is the only way I get most of my cards created. Please keep sharing your ideas and cards and links to other creative card makers.

I just stumbled across the Artistic Avenger today, as well as you. I was trying to organize my SU designer paper and was going through old catalogs trying to figure out what colors had been used for each set. Some aren't listed, so I googled Stampin' Up Porcelain Prints and found your wonderful chart. THANK YOU soooo much. I can't tell you how wonderful I think you are. I like your CASEd card too. THANKS again!
