Papertrey Princess Challenge--CASE it!

Good afternoon, ladies! It's my turn to host a Papertrey Princesses challenge, and I thought we could do something to showcase each other. What I would like us to do is to CASE at least one card or project from one other person in our group. Copy it, change up the colors, find inspiration in it--whatever you like. Please link to your person's blog for all to see. To make it easier, we'll just go alphabetically and pick the next person on the list. So...
Anya CASEs Belinda
Belinda-Bethie
Bethie-Cheryl
Cheryl-Dana
Dana-Diane
Diane-Joyce
Joyce-Leah
Leah-Lee
Lee-Mara
Mara-Mariah
Mariah-Melissa
Melissa-Michele
Michele-Pam
Pam-Valerie
Valerie-Anya

I get to case Dana. First of all, she is a master of color combinations. She always makes harmony out of colors my brain can't combine, and her cards are simply beautiful. After several pathetic attempts to CASE her work, I've determined that I cannot hold a candle to this girl. Here are two of my favorites:


I must confess that for the life of me, I can't figure out how she masked this flower so well. I tried it three times, and I failed miserably. Nope, not going to show it. I'll just let you bask in its beauty.

I love this second card because of the colors. Dana uses fall colors so well. Here's my not-so-great attempt (BTW, Summer Sunrise really is prettier than that. For the life of me, I cannot photograph it without it looking greenish.):


Now it's your turn!

Paper: PTI Summer Sunrise
Ink: PTI Fresh Snow, Berry Sorbet, Lemon Tart, Summer Sunrise, SU Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery
Stamps: PTI Green Thumb, Turning a New Leaf, Out On a Limb, Flower Garden
Other: Nestablilities, PTI Berry Sorbet satin ribbon

    OMG Cheryl, you made me blush with this post. How nice of you to say such sweet things! (I use Eclipse Masking Tape in the large roll size for all my masking...it's amazing.) Your take on my fall card is perfect for spring! I love how the flowers are reaching out of the pot and your BG is lovely. The colors blend so well together. The pink ribbon and sentiment really take this card to the next level. Great job.
    I love the idea of this challenge too...so fun and very unique. I'm off to peruse Diane's blog and find something to case!

Next up we have two products: L...

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
