ShowCASe Your Style Challenge #3: Inspiration Photo

Hello and welcome to our third ShowCASe Your Style challenge!

We are a brand new challenge blog dedicated to CAS (clean & simple) crafting. We'll post a new challenge here every other Saturday, and you'll have almost 2 weeks to link up your creations.

Our challenge blog is run in association with Clearly Whimsy Stamps and is sponsored by Whimsy Stamps, who are generously offering a $10 gift certificate to the randomly-selected winner of each challenge. (If the winning entry uses Clearly Whimsy Stamps products, the gift certificate will be increased to $15).

The design team will also be selecting our favorite entry from each challenge, who will be crowned "Style Queen", along with our "Style Favorites".

Our theme for challenge #3 is an INSPIRATION CHALLENGE. Please use this photo to draw inspiration from to create your CAS challenge card.
