I was excited to see that Julia Stainton is featured this month at the CASE Study Challenge Blog.  When I first started card making, she was a blogger that I admired (I still do too!).  I love everything she makes!  She is so talented at not only card making, but at scrapbooking too.  I’ve cased quite a few of her projects over the years and I have been inspired by so many others.  Here is her card for this weeks challenge:

I tried to make a burlap flower like this one a couple of weeks ago, and all I ended up with was a mess — frayed burlap strings everywhere!  I may have to give it another go after seeing this beautiful card.

I used the scalloped tulle ribbon in the Holiday Catalog for my flower.  It is a dream to work with — no frayed edges and it ties beautifully.

Well, enjoy your Saturday!  Thanks for stopping by!
