Ugh - the week before I get a week off and I get the icky cold that has been doing the rounds - typical! Let's hope I shake this thing off before the weekend which I'm starting to kick off here on Friday Eve with a super (and I mean, super!) CASE study.
Wanna know what's so extra special about this CASE study this week? Well we've teamed up to form a humdinger of a challenge with the Play Date Cafe! Inky teams unite!
So enough babbling on from me; let's check it out!
In-between sniffles and splutters, here's what I created for our mega challenge:
Not really the rebel this week methinks...I was totally inspired by that gorgeous flower (gave me the perfect excuse to play with my new dies *wink*) as well as the Papertrey Ink, Make It Monday challenge this week which is to use a vellum strip for a sentiment.
Now I just know you wanna join in the fun over on CASE study but be sure to check out what the rest of the CASE study DT created for this super duper challenge - I guarantee you'll be left inspired :)

What a way to embrace black, love your pops of color.
You don't need to be a rebel to be fabulous, Amy :) And definitely you don't need to be in top-notch condition to still crack me up with your humour!! haha
I love the fabby idea with the die-cut window, how you did the flower, and guess what... I need that die!! lol
It's SO great to have you with us this week, Amy! The Play Date Cafe and CASE Study make for one FAB challenge! Your creation is terrific!
Ohhh...I just LOVE your card, the bold black frame and that gorgeous flower is just perfect!
Love it! Lovely dramatic feel to ti with all the black and then the pops of colour. Great use of the vellum sentiment PTI challenge too. Hope you get better soon so you can enjoy our week off :)
Stopped me in my tracks with this one Aimes, and the pp is a perfect choice for the colours. Three challenges in one too! Way to go!
Hi Aimes,
Thanks for your comment on my card for the Papertrey Challenge! Of course, I had to have a look at your blog as well and I love this card that you made here! The colors are fabulous and that flower is such a beauty! The red buttons complete the focus perfectly, love it!
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Wendy
What a gorgeous card Aimes, that colour combo looks great and I'm going to have to give the "Vellum Sentiment strip" a go as it looks really effective. What a lovely card to case too.
I really hope you feel better for your time off next week, the last thing you want is a cold! Doing anything nice?
Have a great weekend and get the olbas oil out :)
Hugs, Katie x
Oh...I do hope you start to feel better. I love how you used the background paper in the circle...gave a great pop to this card! Gorgeous Aimes!
This is stunning! I have this paper and I may just need to CASE this card!
Beautiful and bright! This makes me smile and I hope you feel 'tip top' by the weekend too! Great challenge!

So is vellum making a comeback? lol Not sure if I can play this week, I'm off to an out of town conference today until Sat night. I may just have to look at all the eye candy :) hugs :) oh, when's the big move?
Aimes, this card is a dream! What a delightful sentiment layered on an eye-catching display of flowers! You've made this color scheme ROCK! Way to go, girlie!
