Chain mail card swap - Stampin' Up! Planted Paradise Thank You Card

For the past few months, I have been taking part in what has been known as a chain mail card swap with fellow Aussie SU demos, although I do have a terrible habit of calling it a Chinese Whispers card swap.  (Do you remember, the game Chinese Whispers you played as a child? The message never quite came out the same at the end as it started?) Well, cards in the chain mail swap can end up that way as well.
The first card in each blog hop is an original card and then it is posted to the next person on the list and they create their card, CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) the card they were mailed and post it onto the next person on the list and it continues on and on through the list. I've loved this challenge CASEing the cards every two weeks they arrived in my mailbox and am sad this round is over. 

For our next blog hop, we are starting with Kayla's card. 

I was a little stumped when I got my card in the mail as I was trying to use different stamp sets and DSP on each card and I struggled with what I was going to do. When I remembered I hadn't inked up my Planted Paradise stamp set I got at Stampin' Up! OnStage event all was good. The hard part after that was working out what shades of green I was going to use!

What a gorgeous card Ros. Love all the texture.

Great card Ros. Love the way you have brought these vibrant colours together with the sponging. How long did all that fussy cutting take you?

Great CASE Ros, and I love the pop the blue adds among all the green.
