A Tale of Two Cards with Rooted In Nature

Hey Y'all!
I have two cards to share with you today! One I CASE'd (CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything or Copy And Selectively Edit) from Carole Baumgartner on Pinterest, and then the other I CASE'd from that card!
Here is the first card:

This was a card we did at my South Georgia Stampers monthly class this month.  I think the most fun was making the leaves with Brusho and watercolor paper.  I used Yellow, Moss green, and a little Prussian Blue to achieve these colors.  Brusho is something you can play around with and so many different results.

The Nature's Roots Framelits contain both cutting and embossing dies. Notice the texture on the leaves....
I cut the leaves, then used the embossing framelit with the new Big Shot Embossing Mats.  They give a deeper impression, and make such a difference.  
I loved the way this card turned out, and wanted to make it for a monthly Demonstrator swap I participate in, but, alas, I did not have enough Mint Macaron cardstock!  So what do you do? Use what you have and CASE your own card!
Here is the result:
Instead of embossing with an embossing folder, I used my Hardwood background stamp and stamped directly on the card base (the stamparatus made this a breeze!), then heat embossed on a piece of Very Vanilla.  Because I had to make several of these, and was short on time, I did not add the texture to the leaves.  
I love how they both turned out!

Card Measurements:
Card Base- 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 scored at 4-1/4
Mint Macaron layer-4 x 5-1/4
Sentiment piece-appx 1-1/8 x 3-1/4
scrap of Very Vanilla for wood stamp
scrap of watercolor paper for leaves

How did you like Vivian's guest post last week?  Isn't she fabulous?    I am still planning on more in the scrapbooking series, however some supplies I ordered did not get in in time for me to do a post for this week.  Check back next Saturday for more Memory Keeping ideas.  Until next time, go CASE somebody!
Love,
Nina
