Show CASE - Fifth Avenue Floral

I could not resist making this card.  I should have done it a long time ago, as a birthday or anniversary.  Instead, it's been in my CASE file for over a year.

When free time is in short supply, a card CASE (Copy And Share with Everyone) can be the perfect way to have a little fun!.  Show CASE is my personal attempt to have that time for stamping, without of the pressure to create something totally original.  I want to pay tribute to the many talented stampers out in the blogosphere that are so inspiring to me.  I hope you enjoy seeing my "take" on their creation.

Today's card was inspired by Renee @ Stamping For Sanity.

 
Isn't this an amazing card?  I so wish Fifth Avenue Floral wasn't retiring.  I still haven't got enough use out of it.  I'll keep it, no doubt.  I just have to bring it out and dust it off, from time to time.

So, the only change I made was the color.  My mom loves yellow roses, so this should please her.  I had a blast making it, that I know.

Happy Birthday with Fifth Avenue Floral - Curtain Call #27

Inspiration met desperation this week when Wednesday came along and I needed a card for my good friend Cathy's birthday.  So, I took my inspiration from this week's Curtain Call Challenge and this great color combo!

I also took a little a little inspiration from fellow blogger, Tracey Old and the card she made a few weeks ago using the Fifth Avenue Floral set.  I love this set and I'm always looking for great new ways to use it!

Isn't the dimension on this flower just spectacular?  My third bit of inspiration came from the girls over at Stampin' Royalty and a simple sketch challenge.

In addition, I fulfilled this weeks requirements for the Our Creative Corner challenge of "blossoms." 

This is one of those cards that the more I added the better it looked.  That usually doesn't happen.  The best part?  Cathy loved it, so my mission was accomplished!

Kristina's Color Inspiration #41

Today I decided to post a more current Kristina challenge that I missed. This one was only two weeks ago. I haven't missed too many lately. I think it was the only one in ten weeks. This set, Fifth Avenue Floral was a the top of my list when I saw the catalog. For some time I had admired these flowers in the Decor Elements line and had hoped for a stamp set to match. These flowers will be so versatile, any color combination will look fantastic! You couldn't ask for a more simple elegant card, either. When I finally give away the card I may put a sentiment on the from, but it really doesn't need it. I think it looks just fine this way. Thanks for stopping by the blog today! See ya tomorrow!
