CASE-ing Tuesday #142: Thoughts & Prayers

The card that was chosen for this week's CASE-ing project is just gorgeous.  There's so many ink layers, it almost overwhelmed me.  So, I opted to go for something much simpler.  I've had this Petal Passion striped card base laying on my craft shelf for over a month now.  I keep coming back to it, but just didn't know what to do with it.  Well, tonight, I pulled it off the shelf and set to work.  

The Thoughts and Prayers stamp set is one of the very first stamp sets I ever bought when I joined Stampin' Up!  It's time to say goodbye to it, and several other favorites, as we get ready to make room for new products from the new 2018-2019 Annual catalog.  

Change is hard...but it doesn't have to be bad. I've seen the new catalog and I'm excited to see so many beautiful new stamp sets and bundles coming our way.  You're going to be amazed!

Come join the fun.  Create a card based on the above pattern and then post it on the Facebook Post.  Or, if you post it elsewhere on Facebook, you can use the hashtag #CASEingtuesday142.
