I didn't have to delve into the gallery of Karen B. Barber very far to find a card to case for her Featured Stamper Day! MY GOODNESS...the beauty of them ALL! I had to try this one:
I soooo wanted to try the quilting technique, and I LOVED how she cut hers into that SU Top Note shape THEN added the embossing over the top! I used DP from the best new stack ever by DCWV called the "Crafty Stack"...it's sewing-themed and so pretty! I changed the sentiment and ribbon, and added a crocheted flower.
CONGRATS, Karen! I think the next stop for you is the Dirty Dozen for sure...your cards are out of this WORLD! It's like looking at a beautiful bouquet as soon as you click into your gallery!!!!

This is an incredible work of art! It's a beautiful quilt - just like Grandma used to make. The crocheted flower and gingham ribbon are the perfect embellishments.
