Congratulations to dawnsing for being selected as todays FS. Your clean graphic style is so pleasing and I spent quite awhile deciding on which card to case. I like your bold use of color and I chose this card... thinking of YOU by dawnsing at Splitcoaststampers
I decided to go with Basic Grey papers that are full of texture and pattern. Urban Couture won the day! My card is built as a 6" square with Rum Raisin as the base. I cut strips of Ratine,Mila,Brocade and Lux as the stripes. I hand carved the blossom and popped it at different levels for dimension. I added liquid pearls in the center of the flower. I believe my sentiment is from one of the All Year Cheers. I stamped it with Versamark and embossed in Seafoam White (Ranger). I finished it off with a velvet scallop ribbon in beige and little pink satin flowers.
Thanks very much for your comments!

Classic and beautiful! Love the colours you chose, with this DP ... the cut out bloom is stunning, and the liquid pearl centres are just gorgeous! Great CASE.
