Hi, I was inspired to make this card by the challenge at Inkspirational.
The theme is to CASE this card.
I found it quite challenging as I don't usually put many layers on a card, I think I've done a sort of CAS CASE!
I've had the silver and black designer paper in my stash for a while and there's no label on it. I cut the flower from silver bazzil using my Tattered Florals die and used a stylus to curl the petals a bit. The centre is cut from snippets using my Memory Box cherry blossom die. The label is also a snippet cut with an MFT sentiment strip, and the sentiment is a sticker from my stash.
Using scraps means I can visit the snippets playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop again. I think I'll just make it in before the gates close! (Edited to add: Oops! The gates shut 2 hours ago, I'll have to camp outside until the morning and see if Miss will let me in then!)
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is celebrating Stamptember with a challenge to use a product that can be purchased in the Simon Says Stamp online store. I got my Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die there earlier this year.
Thanks for visiting :)

Thank you so much Cornelia! I think I may be disqualified though as I did receive some nominations not long after I first started blogging way back in Feb and March this year from Bubbles, Shaz in Oz and Tanvi. It's wonderful to receive the nomination but as yet I haven't paid it forward, thank you again though :) Cathy x
Fab colour scheme for a floral card - love that you didn't do a CAS!!!! Mxx
I love what you have done with this case, you have simplified it to make it your own and the effect is simply stunning. I love the black and silver and the placement of the sentiment. Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges. Come back next week! Marina
These shade of grey are so subtle and lovely. The flowers is perfection!
