Today I started my card CASE'ing a friends card, but what I ended up with is TOTALLY different!  I LOVE when a handmade card kind of takes on a life of it's own and it ends up different than what you had invisioned.

Here is Carol'Anne's card:



GOJUS!!!  Right?   I love it!  So, I started by doing the embossing using the Ivy from Vintage Vogue from Stampin' Up!  She used Sahara Sand ink and I don't have that, so I decided to use Basic Gray ink, and then I didn't like it, so I changed the bottom paper to Basic Gray instead of Sahara Sand......and it kind of took on a life of it's own after that. 



What do you think?  I really am proud of how it came out!

Tonight is my Hostess class that was rescheduled from an earlier date, the normal day for this class is the 2nd Tuesday of each month.  I was in Disney for Vacation at that time so needed to reschedule to tonight.  We will be doing three handmade cards and I hope that if you aren't coming tonight that you will come the 2nd Tuesday of the month in February!!

Have a Great Stamping Day!!
