Today I'm sharing a card for <a href="https://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2024/02/just-us-girls-716-case-design-team.html" target="_blank">Just Us Girls Challenge</a> where it's '</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 17.82px;">CASE a Design Team Member Week'. I chose to CASE Elizabeth's beautiful card. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Neuton; font-size: 16px;">CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything - but it's not about just copying a card. It's about getting inspiration from cardmaking friends and making a new card with our own twist.</span> </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6m2UOaH1vU19qlwOm4Z7-JSLz3ClaBHD-6g3xiFUlc4fP-88fzIbKCtjC27K-N51Con-4-KnaIIl6htOROauSqtwugu5x17OwewR6QTCn8z0pj76h4n3uFZpT0ao_cTwbFOhIiaUdwTQrGJNKxtnqOMoUO_TAOfOH35SANHp3ZYhEa80pB1kCMxlHMiY/s2336/IMG_3008.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2336" data-original-width="2336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6m2UOaH1vU19qlwOm4Z7-JSLz3ClaBHD-6g3xiFUlc4fP-88fzIbKCtjC27K-N51Con-4-KnaIIl6htOROauSqtwugu5x17OwewR6QTCn8z0pj76h4n3uFZpT0ao_cTwbFOhIiaUdwTQrGJNKxtnqOMoUO_TAOfOH35SANHp3ZYhEa80pB1kCMxlHMiY/s16000/IMG_3008.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used die-cuts from Alexander Renke, coloured with Distress ink instead of stamping as Elizabeth did.

My waste paper basket is full of rejects! I've mainly been playing with PB Cling stamps and I want the results to be perfect - but I think I need to let that go! Sometimes I find things I've thrown away and decide I really like it!
