Hello … bonjour! We have a CASE the Designer challenge for you this fortnight at Time Out … and our designer is the amazingly talented Ardyth from Maskerade (yes, really!). Ardyth’s fabulous card is below … here’s my take on it …
… and here’s Ardyth‘s floral delight …
My card is one layer, stamped with all but one image from Concord & 9th‘s Painted Thank You set. I did the sentiment first, then randomly added the blooms (three reds) and leaves (two greens) around it. The painted stripe at the bottom and the flower centres were embossed in gold, and I scattered some stamped dot clusters in the open spaces, to pick up on Ardyth‘s black frame. Voilà!
What grabs your attention on Ardyth‘s card … sentiment, colours, florals, shimmery gold, the technique … or something else? You can use any or all of the elements that Ardyth used for your card … we’d love to see what you create in our gallery! All the details are over at the Time Out blog, along with loads of lovely inspiration from our amazing DT, and from our fabulous Guest Designer, Marina from My Perfect Life (who you need to visit if you haven’t already … there’s so much deliciousness on offer)!
I’m playing along with …
CAS on Sunday – Heat Embossing
CAS-ual Fridays – 1 in 8 (eight stamps from the same set)
Simplicity Thanksgiving Crusade – Thanksgiving or Thanks
The Flower Challenge – Anything Goes (Aileen‘s lovely new challenge)

LOVE this beauty Anita, that big bold sentiment looks superb !
Great take on Ardyth’s design!
Très jolie !!!. Love that bold sentiment with the scattering of soft flowers and leaves and the touches of gold are just gorgeous
wonderful CASE with so many tiny items from Ardyth’s card incorporated in it. I love how you used the black dots to represent the frame and to emboss the gold strip…inspired!
A lovely, bright and cheery card, Anita. Great colors and stamping. I like your take on the inspiration design. Sure makes me smile. 🙂
There isn’t a thing I DON”T love about either card, Anita! Ardyth is a fabulous designer to CASE! You’ve honored her well with this fabulous, colorful card! xx

Gorgeous take on Ardyth’s card Anita! Love how you have circled your flowers around the sentiment, it’s almost wreath like!
Love how you arranged the floral images like a “wreath”, surrounding that wonderful large sentiment focal point! Wonderful CASE of Ardyth’s beautiful card, Anita!
lovely, lovely take on the inspiration card, anita!
Oh wow, I love your take on Ardyth’s card Anita!!! I love Ardyth’s cards, been a big fan for a while, but I’m just as big of a fan of your cards too! The flowers you used are so pretty and I am loving those leaves. The font on the “thank you” is gorgeous. Hugs, Brenda
I like how you used a bold sentiment and all the stamping! Looks so cheerfull! Hugs, Gerrina
It’s gorgeous! Love your fabulous flowers and the big bold sentiment. A wonderful take on Ardyth’s card! xxx
How beautiful! Love the big sentiment, center stage, with lovely florals all around!
I was lucky enough to tell you in person but I love that you used that watercolour stripe on the bottom and also your pretty flowers! Wonderful to think that my card inspired this!
Magnifique Anita ! Que dire de plus ? Tout y est, les fleurs, le sentiment et le doré ! D’ailleurs, j’aime beaucoup ce sentiment, ce doit être un tampon énorme ! Il fait son effet et il est très joliment entouré de cette magnifique couronne de fleurs avec leur coeur doré ! Superbe !
Gorgeous card Anita and such pretty flowers too. Thank you so much for sharing your card over at The Flower Challenge and we hope to see you again soon 😉 Viv DT xx
Scheduled post or back home already?!? Such a happy TU card. Great take on Ardyth’s beauty.
Anita, I love your interpretation of Ardyth’s inspiration piece. Love those little trios of black dots and the centers of the red flowers. Love the sentiment (wink, wink). Great minds think alike! So thrilled to be on the TO DT with you!
I like the sweet florals surrounding your sentiment Anita! Your card, and Ardyth’s are both fantastic!
Your card is just as gorgeous as Ardyth’s. Love your bold sentiment, and how you have surrounded it with lovely flowers.
What a beautiful card! So many blooms – lovely and cheerful. Thank you so much for playing along in our first ever Flower Challenge. Ruth DT 🙂 xx
Such a beautiful card love those flowers. Thanks for joining us over at CAS on Sunday.
Beautiful, Anita! Those golden centered flowers look amazing framing your wonderful sentiment! The dots of black and swipe of gold add great detail!
You’ve made a wonderful arrangement of flowers and leaves as a tribute to Ardyth’s card, Anita.
Beautiful card Anita! Love those gorgeous scattered blooms around the bold sentiment. The gold accents are a perfect finishing touch!
Your interpretation of Ardyth’s card is very pretty with the gold embossed centers and the painted stripe!
Sweet card Anita. And a great take on Ardyth’s amazing design. LOVE that painted stripe at the bottom. xx
Beautiful take on Ardyth’s card, Anita! I love your choice of flowers and the gold ‘swipe’ across the bottom is amazing! Loving your bold sentiment, too 🙂
Stunning card, Anita! Love how those flowers frame the sentiment! And I love that painted stripe on the bottom!
So lovely how you’ve grounded all those pretty flowers with the gold paint strip Anita – the blooms positively burst out from the card! Thanks for playing along at CAS-ual Fridays!
Love that loose wreath feeling to your flowers, so pretty.
Love your CASE of Ardyth’s card. That is a fantastic floral stamp set, and you’ve shown it to great advantage with the bright colors grouped around the bold sentiment. Liked the additional touch of the painted stripe grounding the card. Just lovely & I especially love the idea of one layer! TFS & Hugs
A one-layer beauty, Anita! I especially love how you incorporated the gold with the painted stripe!
Simply beautiful Anita! That gorgeous bold sentiment is perfect with those pretty blooms – and that painted stripe across the bottom is perfection! Love it!
Anita what a beautiful take on Ardyth’s card. That thank you script is so lovely and all the tiny flowers around it and the watercolour strip at the bottom–oh my!
Wonderful card Anita! I love all the flowers, this must have been amazingly fun to stamp! The sentiment looks amazing too.
The gold embossing the gold embossing!!! Wow – that swipe across the bottom is so pretty and clever. Lovely card. Jenny xx
Fabulous card. I LOVE the gold embossing, especially that swipe across the bottom. So pretty. Jenny xx
I love your CASE of Ardyth’s card so much, you captured the colours and flow of her flowers beautifully and love your touch of gold. Thank you so much for joining us at this new challenge and your welcome back at The Flower Challenge anytime!!!!
Gorgeous thank you card with a stunning background ! Love all the stamped blooms and the gold on the bottom! Thank you for all the kindness on my blog!
Love your fabulous card, Anita! I added that set to my last Concord & 9th order and though I haven’t used it yet, you’ve inspired me to get it out. Love the bold script!
Soooo….I appear to have acquired a ‘few’ (okay, a number!) of Concord and 9th sets, with little time to truly give them the attention they deserve. Perhaps I have an *ahem* obsession going on (skip the perhaps…I do. Definitely!). This set resides in my collection (we won’t discuss from how long ago) and is ‘still’ awaiting attention. Your showcase of it here is wonderfully inspiring; the wee flowers framing the bold Thank You…pretty plus! Love this (and once I get myself organized, I’m going on a full-fledged Concord & 9th palooza!)
Hugs and love~c
So pretty – you always do so well with those little stamps!
