Chain mail card swap - Stampin' Up! Birthday Card with Simply Said Stamp Set and Flowering Zinnia DSP.

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 my card. I am one of those strange people who find fussy cutting relaxing so I fussy cut a few flowers from Flowering Zinnia DSP and created a focal point on the centre on of my card.
The card I received back at the end was certainly a bit different from the one I sent off but the colours were pretty close to the starting point! 
Let me know what you think?
