Here is some applause from the crew...

I absolutely love Amy's textured background and all of the beautiful patterns and dimensional embellishments - all while keeping a gorgeous CAS look!

Amy's card is amazing! I love all the white space, mix of papers, and fabulous use of the modeling paste. Lots of visual interest, and yet still has a clean feel to it. Beautiful!

Amy's clustering and use of texture always amazes me! Gorgeous!

I really love the texture, layering, the mix of patterns and white space is fantastic on Amy's card. My vote goes to her.

Amy's beautiful pattern choices and layering create such a whimsical and dreamy card!

Amy wows me with per perfect layering and use of open space!

Amy's card is fabulous with all the details but still feeling CAS. Love it!







The Show Stoppers for the Perfectly Peach challenge are...



Love the contrast of black and peach on Christyne Kane's card. 
The layers and details are wonderful!





I love the awesome layered stamping on Michelle's simple one-layer card!
