It's Ardyth's 50th birthday so for this week's
MUSE challenge she wants us to CASE one of her cards. I thought it would be easiest to go to my Pinterest and see what I had pinned of hers and I found one that I wanted to CASE.
I pinned it because I have the SSS Roses for You set but have only used it once and I thought this would inspire me because it's such a cute card. Mine is almost identical.
I stamped the flowers on Bristol and colored them with Zigs. I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle and then the dilemma and a question for you all. What color cardstock most closely matches the Strathmore Bristol? I ended up using some Altenew Spicy Yogurt which has little flecks of brown in it. It looks better than white or the Vintage Cream I have.
I don't often think about the
Simon Says challenges but I did see that their Monday challenge this week asked for circles. This might not be what they had in mind but they look circular to me. ;)
I'm scurrying to get this post done before the pizza arrives and we have to leave for a Euchre Party. I hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Birthday, Ardyth!

Love those whimsical little flowers Bobby! The is darling!!
Love your circular roses, Bobby! Beautiful coloring!! I am so glad you shared your wonderful creation with us at Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge! hugs, Maura
Haha! I love the question about the Bristol! I often use MFT Grout Gray with anything that isn't quite white. And I've been thinking about this because I just finished my Ranger Watercolor paper (which is very white) and now have to use up my Canson (which isn't!) Love your take on my card - the Zigs look fantastic! Thanks so much for the birthday wishes and for joining my party at Muse!
Great choice of the birthday girl's cards to CASE! You did a beautiful job, too. After seeing this, I might have to break my self-imposed moratorium on spending for the month. The colors and that die are fabulous. I really, really like your card! : ) Bev
I have a heavy weight watercolor paper that I'll use to make cards so my panels match or I use color card bases to avoid having to match my whites. Your flowers are so pretty, Bobby!
Ahh beautiful Bobby, this was another card I was totally inspired by. You have done a wonderful CASe.

Such a lovely interpretation of Ardyth's card; Great job!
Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but you always do an amazing job with your Zigs, Bobby! Beautiful coloring on the roses and fabulous CASE of Ardyth's card!
Lovely card Bobby, pretty colours
Just gorgeous, Bobby ... these whimsical flowers are delicious ... and your colouring is, as ever, fabulous! A brilliant CASE! Hugs, Anita :)
Yes, your roses are circular; yes, they are gorgeous! What a marvelous Ardyth-esque card and oh, how I adore the fabulous colours! Thank you for asking the Bristol + what question. I've seen a 'grey' cardstock (Strathmore, too, I believe) that people use for colouring with pencils. I wonder if that might work...Here's what I mean: https://www.deserres.ca/en/strath-toned-gray-pad-s400-9x12-50sh There's also a toned tan. May have to investigate....
