CASE Study - Gold Embossed YUM!

Hi and thanks for stopping by!  It's been really cold and snowy here in the Chicago area.  We got another 6 inches yesterday, my daughter's college classes were cancelled, and my son was released early from school.  Even my husband was sent home from his job site because the temperature dropped and there is no heat on his construction site.   And guess what?  Looking out the window I see there is snow coming down again!    We've really had it hard this winter.

Are you enjoying our muse this month at Case Study?   It's the uber clean and simple Donna Mikasa from Three Umbrellas blog.  I have to tell you that she is totally taking me to school this month.  Check out what she has in store for us this week!  You know the deal...study the picture, grab what inspires you and run with it.  OMG!  What can I say?  When I saw this I knew that I wouldn't be changing a single thing.  I just had to try the technique and my CASE would be the best flattery I could give to Donna.  I loved the colorful distress over the gold embossing, peek a boo sentiment, and sprinkle of bling.  So that is Exactly what I did.

I had so much fun with this one that I even made a St. Patrick's Day card with a gold embossed plaid background and a sprinkle of shamrocks.

Here's the finished card:
