Recently, our wonderful, incredibly talented friend, Anita, from My Papercraft World fame shared a card that went immediately into my 'case down the road' folder. Today's hop was exactly the down-the-road opportunity I was looking for!
Here's her lovely inspiration....
Serendipity products are:
- Summer Flower Pops Cling Set (the outline version)
- Summer Flower Pops Dies (which coordinate with the both Flower Pops stamp sets)
- Happy Birthday (on for only $2.00...seriously!)
- Ink Spots
I used a combination of regular and oxide distress inks for the blended panel.
Casing Anita's card was a delight; hope I did her creativity justice! Thank you, Anita, for being my muse!
That's it from me! Two tasks for you now:

What cheerful cards!
Great cards.
the flowers are great but I love the curve and splatters!!
Gorgeous case of a gorgeous card. Love the red. Hugz
Love those fun flowers on your pretty cards! It's great that they have coordinating dies available... love that!
Nicely done...love the swoop look!
Great design and you didn't even have to color the flowers.
I can see why you picked Anita's card to CASE (and I'm going to CASE both of them!). They almost jumped off the page and spoke to me. Both of them have everything I like about a card--great color, dimension via stamps and distressing and layering and uncolored images and...oh, that lovely curved piece.
Anita's card is definitely one to CASE, c... you've done her proud!

Love your card you did an excellent job!

This is a really cute design! I love that cheerful pop of yellow!
Cute idea...with the black and white flowers and splash of color in the background.
Love your take on Anita's beautiful card. Your flowers are so pretty and I love that gorgeous peach you paired with them and the splashes of colors, great way to finish off your gorgeous card.
Fun layout. Love how you used different colors to make each of your cards. The yellow is my favorite. It is warm and sunny. TFS
I loved that card by Anita too and you did a great job CASEing her, Carol.
Carol what a stunning take on sweet Anita's beautiful card! I absolutely love it!
Love the uncolored flowers.
I think that is a great
technique that I'm going
to use a lot. Love the
colors of the background
and the way it is divided.
thanks for sharing.
Anita's design really does cry out to be CASEd, doesn't it? And, oh my, you did such a brilliant job of it, Carol! She will be so pleased, as will the recipient!! Hugs, Darnell
Goodness, Carol, I'm honoured! You've created such a gorgeous coral delight with the blend of distress and oxide inks and those wonderful line art blooms! Thank you, sweet friend, for your wonderful words ... blush, blush! Hugs, Anita :)
How pretty, Carol! Love the coral color bg w/ the black & white flowers.
