Making a CASE with SUO Challenges

Hey y'all, happy Valentine's Day!  And welcome to a new challenge from SUO Challenges!

This time around, we're inviting you to bust out your Stampin' Up! supplies and CASE something on page 5 of the Sale-a-Bration catalog:

I chose that card on the right that has all the horizontal strips, and here's what I came up with:

I kept to lighter colors and a spring theme, but changed up the strips for some offset rectangles and finally inked up one of the Friendly Gnomes.  My picture looks a bit fluorescent but that's just how Parakeet Party was working for me today.  Actually this was the second version of this card, I tried it on white first:

I just thought he needed some spring green in there : )

Your turn!  I hope you'll join in the challenge on the SUO Challenges blog.  Have fun!
