CASE Study...Making Me Smile

At CASE Study challenges it's our third super week of CASEing Barbara Anders! She has so many wonderful cards, it's a shame we'll only scratch the surface of her card catalog. This week's beauty is flowing and harmonious (as all her cards are). Here is the card that we're drawing inspiration from this week:

I chose to incorporate the wonderful gem flourish, the lighter background with pinkish highlights and the super ribbon treatment. Here's my take:

Compared to Barbara's card, mine looks orange, however, the color is really Cameo Coral. I decided to use the same design (why reinvent the wheel?) but just added a few more floral details, which was done with an SU Flower punch. I added some pink rhinestones to the middle and tried to make it look like a gem-encrusted vine. Wouldn't that be nice! Speaking of nice, here's what the other Design Team gals have come up with:

Amy Wanford
Carole Kisch
Cindy Lee
Lenet Mos
Sue Kohler
Teneale Williams

Here are the deets for creating and uploading a  project:

1. Create a paper crafting project (card, layout, off-the-page item), based on provided inspiration (being a featured creation, made by our Muse).
2. Post your creation on your blog or an online gallery (using a code CSC11), and link it to CASE Study Challenge blog with the inlinkz widget. Please provide a direct link to your post, not an entire blog.
3. A new challenge is being posted every Thursday at 12.01 AM EST, and you've got until the end of Tuesday to submit your entry.
4. You may enter as many times as you like, but you're asked to provide a newly designed project.
5. We will choose one winner randomly from the list of players, who will receive the prize provided by the sponsor. In addition, the authors of the four most impressive creations will be awarded the Winner and Top 3 awards. We will announce the winners on Wednesday.
6. Above all, have fun - and be inspired!
