I wasn't able to stamp since Friday because of spending time with my daughter and granddaughter, which was fabulous. Try as I might, I couldn't incorporate the inspiration challenge, but I did manage three that I missed plus today's.
I loved Susan's gallery and this is what I chose to CASE: OLW Small Bird Birthday by susanbri at Splitcoaststampers
I kept her CAS layout for the most part (although I did add a layer of dp), chose stamps that were similar but different, chose parchment instead of white cs and changed the shape of the card, distressed the edges (even used distress ink), included a sentiment about love, paper pieced and more or less did today's colors. The pink is closer to rose but I don't have a lot of pink in my repertoire.
Whew. If someone can find a way I could include the IC, let me know. I'm exhausted.

You really outdid yourself on the challenges..no wonder you're pooped! I like how you used parchment paper and that fleur de lis is wonderful as a bg for your quote...lovely card!

Thank you so much for your kind comment about my gallery and for honouring me with a CASE of one of my cards while I'm Featured Stamper. I love how you CASE'd my simple one layer card and made it so unique. Great distressed edges and choice of dp, and I love your birds!
