CASE study Challenge #87

This month, the CASE Study Challenge blog is casing work by the talented Laurie Schmidlin, whose work is always so inspiring...  So I am glad to be able to play along!  I loved her wooden plank paper, and the strip across the middle of the card, so here's what I came up with:

Here was Laurie's card that we are casing:

Patterned papers are My Mind's Eye, Dolled Up; Cardstock is Crystal Blue, Hollyhock, Seafoam & Colonial White; Stamp set is Words of Wisdom, Verve; Ink is Rich Cocoa, Memento.  Ribbon & flower are from the April Key Ingredients Kit;  Martha Stewart Punch;  Verve dies.
