From my post title I hope you figured out that my card is for the combined CASE Study & Play Date Cafe' challenges. Yes... this week those two fabulous challenge blogs have joined forces to bring us a fantastic challenge and fantastic prizes. The amazing sponsor of the challenges is Layers of Color Art stamps... a company located here in my home state of Washington! With Layers of Color being the sponor I just couldn't pass up the chance to use my somewhat neglected LOC stamps. 
Because I'm a simple cardmaking gal... I well... simplified things a bit while still keeping to the overall design of February CASE study muse Eva's card. I used two different LOC clear stamp sets (Flutterescent & Nature Walk) and one of their newer cling stamps Victorian Frame. The sentiment is from the My Favorite Things set Polka Dot Greetings. I colored the flowers with the Copic markers: R46, R89, Y17 & Y19. Because I went very simple with the card I didn't use any patterned paper. I added some interest by stamping the flourish from Nature Walk on the card base using Versamark ink. I stamped the flourish on cream cardstock with Memento Bamboo Leaves, trimmed it out and applied some Old Paper distress ink.
Thanks for taking a peek....
