Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. It was sunny and warm here in my part of AL so hubby and I worked in the yard....very hard. We cleaned out and re-mulched a bed, went to a couple of plant nurseries, potted some plants, and just had a good time. It wasn't so fun when we finished and I realized how tired I was. :-)
It's time for the CAS271 challenge on Splitcoaststampers. This week we are to case a card from a past DT CAS member and that person is Angela Maine aka Arizona Maine. What a beautiful gallery. Believe me, I could case all her cards. This is the card I chose to case.
You can see the changes I made while keeping it fairly close to hers.

Very pretty card Benzi! I love your colors! Just delightful!
Such a lovely design.xxx
Absolutely beautiful card - cute cute cute bird and flowers tfs!!!
I know what you mean about Angela's cards. And you've done a wonderful CASE! I love the birdcage diecut and that your bird is on the outside with those gorgeous flowers.
This is gorgeous, Brenda! Really love this design on this one! Wasn't the weekend wonderful? We had a great time with our friends!
I really thought that was a piece of chain holding the birdhouse! VERY pretty and of course love the cute little bird and flower. Beautiful card!

Lovely card, Benzi. Wow I would have never guessed that the chain was a sticker. Very nice card. That yard work can really do you in, huh? Last week I dug up a 30 year old rhododendron, what a job, but I could hardly move the next day. Getting too old for this stuff, but I'm thankful I CAN do it. Enjoy the rest of the week.
What a gorgeous CAS creation! LOVE the pop of colors in the flowers and bird! Thanks for joining us at Inspired By Stamping! HUGS and have a great rest of the week! :) Mynn xx
Both are just adorable cards, but I'm gonna have weigh heavily in favor of yours because of this lovely little bluebird (bet you guessed that!). Loved the pale yellow roses on your inspiration card, but yours is just as pretty as can be. Love this birdhouse die too! TFS & hope you got to rest up some today. Hugs
Pretty card!
I agree with Angela's cards being so pretty, but so are yours! This hanging birdcage looks so pretty on the silver "chain" and I just love the pop of colors with the bird, flourish and flowers! I like how you worked the sentiment into the top of the cage too! A beautiful card! I'm glad you got your yard work done and had beautiful weather for the weekend ;)
Love CAS. Beautifully CAS Benzi.
This is just so sweet, Benzi! Love how you did the sentiment! Looking forward to our weather improving so I can spend some time outside like you!
Fabulous!! The white on white with a pop of colour is perfect!
This is just beautiful Brenda. I love how you do these CAS cards. They are just so hard for me to do. We did indeed have a wonderful weekend. My boys were both busy working so I crafted all weekend. Hugs, joann
This is magnificent, Benzi! I had to look at that chain several times. I just can hardly believe it's a sticker. I'm going to have to go explore Flower Soft stickers! :-D
Beautiful design!! I love the white with the pop of color!
This is gorgeous, Benzi! Awesome use of dies and especially that chain sticker. Thanks so much for playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes!
This is so pretty, Brenda! Great inspiration for me as I have sweet bird cages in my piles of NBUS! Your weekend sounds familiar. The yard work in the spring is so worth all the aches and pains as everything gets cleaned up/out and revitalized! Hugs, Darnell
This is just gorgeous and I adore how the colourful birdie and flowers pops against the bird cage.
