Wowzers! Friday-Eve already?! This week is proving to be B.U.S.Y! Last week of school, last mad dashes to the post office (I'm becoming a real regular there!) and late night Christmas shopping has meant that I've been pretty MIA here in Blogland...
However, the good news is that the Christmas shopping is done, my trips to the post office are nearly finished and it's Friday-Eve :)
Let's kick off the pre-Christmas weekend celebrations with a fabulous new CASE Study! Our muse for December, Amy Sheffer has this beauty up for CASEing:
Check out Amy's original post of this beautiful card, here!
I was totally drawn with the butterfly (I'm a sucker for 'em!), the stamped lace and the splash of aqua, popping against the black and white. AND guess what? I didn't create a card for the Holidays this time (I've still got a couple of Christmas cards to share here but it feels so good to say that they're all done and posted - yay!):
It's a pretty CAS take on Amy's card (what else?!) and I liked the idea of juxtaposing clean and modern with fussy by using grid paper for my butterfly and a doily for my stamped element. Even the sentiment kinda mixes styles a little with it's use of two different fonts.
I'm also gonna enter this into the current Play Date Cafe Challenge too with my splash-of-aqua-butterfly.
Back to CASE Study: this week's CASE Study will run for two weeks to give you a chance to ink up and play along during the busy holiday season. I hope you can squeeze a bit of inky time to join us!

Simply Stunning!
Beautiful card Amies, I love everything about it. Hugs xx
Brilliant! Nothing else needs said.
Breathtaking! Just perfect in every, every way! Love that doily stamp!
Yet again I love your card-it is the colour of the butterfly that struck me-really adds a stunning effect.
I used to play the silent game with my nieces and got a way with it for a while but they are older now and not so easy to fool! Hope the party goes well
Great CAS card, sweet butterfly!
Lovely take on the card shown.
Wow, I love this CAS take on both challenges! It's simple but absolutely perfect, right down to the placement of all the elements. Inspiring!
Aimes, this is beautiful! Great doily image, nice and light and airy. The butterfly is the perfect splash of aqua.
Thanks so much for playing with us at The Play Date Cafe, and Merry Christmas!
