Time Out #23 - CASE with a Twist

Hi everyone!  We have a new challenge going on over on the Time Out blog.

This week we are CASEing this lovely card by Kylie and putting our own twist on it.
 
I loved her layout and the tag...I LOVE tags!!  I just took the Clean & Simple 4 class over at Online Card Classes last week and the background I created was one they taught.  I've seen this done before, but never tried it.  When I saw the inspiration card, I thought it would be a great way to put my twist on the background.  I also added some double-sided tape and glitter on the horizontal stripe.  The dark flowers were white before I added some Picked Raspberry ink directly to it.  The rest is pretty self-explanatory.  I needed a sympathy card for some good friends whose mom just passed on.  I love this sentiment.
 
We have a guest for this challenge....Sarah!  Stop by the Time Out blog to see her card and the rest of the DT.  Some really pretty cards this week!
 
Thanks for stopping by!

It is a warm sentiment, Lisa, especially when the friends who have had a loss are close and your heart comes alongside of them. Sorry for their loss. Praying that you and kevin will be a comfort as you stand by them.

I love the dimension your bg tecnique gave to this piece and that pickled raspberry covered fantastic.
