Hello … bonjour … hope you’re having a wonderful week! We’re half way through our latest ‘CASE … With Your Own Twist’ challenge over at Time Out, where our CASE designer, the amazingly talented Marika has given us a beautifully coloured, delicate and delightful floral card as our inspiration (a little further down). This week, I’m tempting you to play along with a seriously CAS twist on the original …
Here’s Marika‘s stunner …
I stamped the two step Papertrey roses onto a trimmed down white panel, double stamping the leaves just round the edges to add depth, added a few coats of Wink of Stella to the blooms, and nestled the sentiment (also Papertrey) in close to the image. The panel was popped up on craft foam onto a base that’d been dressed on two sides with some slender strips of striped DP. I was inspired this time by Marika’s floral image, the colours and the placement of the sentiment … my twists were the inverted layout, the popped up panel and the ultra CAS style (which was positively QACAS … Quick and Clean and Simple, to quote the lovely Darnell!).
So … are you tempted to play along and make Marika‘s card your own? I do hope so … there’s still plenty of time to join in! All the details are over at the Time Out blog, along with a heap of inspiration from our fabulous DT … see you in the gallery!
My QACAS card is heading over to …

Wonderful crisp stamping. Love the colours together & the tiny hint of striped background x Lindsey Uniko DT
CAS perfection!
Love the bold colour of the flowers, which draw the eye immediately to them Then one notices all the lovely little details – like the texture on the white cardstock, the fabulous soft grey DP peeking out on 2 sides, and the perfectly stamped sentiment. CAS perfection, Anita!
Oh Anita, thanks for this darling second helping! I adore those little PTI roses. You’ve recreated Marika’s card in a very sweet way … LOve that striped grey – who makes that one?

Anita, the simplicity of this card is stunning ! I love the very tiny trim of stripes and the simple sentiment! Love this very much! Hope you are enjoying a nice weekend.
This is so beautiful and fresh! Love it!
This is ever so sweet Anita!! I really like the wee bit of gray stripes peeking out along the two borders!
This is absolutely perfect. I love those flowers, and the little bit of pattern you have along the edges.
This is simplistic and elegant. The shade of purple is regal and the green leaves compliment the flowers. Job well done Anita.
Beautiful crisp stamping Anita and I love how you’ve done the panel with the strips of dp. Just the right amount of detail for your CAS card!
Once again, an imaginative and so pretty take on the inspiration card. Love the rich coloring of the 2 posies, which look stunning with the slim stripe along the side border. Very CAS and very striking as well. TFS & Hugs
So beautiful and elegant Anita! The flowers are stunning and I absolutely love the pinstriped finishing touch! Another wonderful CASE. Hugs, Jill

My dear Anita: yet again, I’ve fallen behind in commenting, as February is transforming into being as, if not slightly more, hectic than January! My apologies…but here I am, joining the 35 ‘on time’ folk ahead of me, gazing in admiration at your sweet QACAS roses! So pretty, especially with the lovely textured paper and delicate grey striped edges…Happy sighhhhh…
