You know what a sucker I am for challenges so as I was going through blogs, picking up challenge ideas, I ran across one at Crafty Creations that intrigued me - to CASE myself . I had been wondering what card to make for my brother's birthday and I did like a card I had made in the past so that is how I came to make this one:
I used a different shade of grass and used twine instead of ribbon. I cut the grass piece smaller than on the first card so the sentiment is placed a little different too The first card I made several years ago is this one:
So which one do you like best? I think I like the new one (first picture). I like the twine and the colors I used on the image are brighter.
The stamp set used is My Favorite Things

Great card, I really like the idea of CASEing your own design and seeing how you can change it. The twine on the grass fits brilliantly with the gardening theme.
