CASE-ing Tuesday #133:  You’re Inspiring

I went for a walk today with my dogs and was inspired by the promise of spring.  There are sprigs of green popping up where I know my daffodils have slept through the cold, yet short, North Carolina winter.  

As soon as I saw the You’re Inspiring stamp set in the Occasions Catalog, I knew I had to have it.  Daffodils are some of my favorite spring flowers.  They always seem so cheery.  Traditionally, daffodils are the harbingers of spring, symbolizing rebirth and new beginnings.  Short-lived, they are a delicate reminder to enjoy the simple and lovely pleasures in life, however long or short they may last. 

And that is why I chose this card sketch to CASE from the Occasions Catalog this week.  I didn’t change it much, just added a jaunty angle and some background dots, that remind me of spring time rain, of promises of new beginnings, and a reminder of hope and love. 

Now, it’s your turn.  Create a card based on the above pattern and then post it on the Case-ing Tuesday Facebook post. Or, if you post it elsewhere, please use the hashtag #CASEingTuesday133.   I can’t wait to see what you create!​
