Viva La Verve...CASEing Jackie!

This week in the Verve Friday Sketch challenge section over at Splitcoast we're celebrating Jackie Pedro becoming a member of the "Dirty Dozen"! I took a peek into her gallery at Splitcoast and found a bevvy of inspiration. You can check it out HERE. This is a card of hers that I chose to CASE:



I love the combination of yellow and kraft, the super sweet ruffled ribbon and the gorgeous golden flower arrangement. I chose to use those details as the highlights of my card. Here's what I've come up with:




I'm not as good as Jackie at paper piecing so I didn't even attempt it. Well, I did, but those remnants got transferred to the card graveyard. And my crooked ruffley bow certainly has character! Good luck to Jackie and can't wait to see the inspiration she provides!

Paper: Tapioca (Bazzil), Chocolate Chip DSP (SU), Kraft (PTI)
