CASE Study Challenge #85

This week at CASE Study is one of these special occasions, when we get to introduce a new Muse, who will provide us for the inspiration throughout the month. I asked one of my favourite artists and a wonderful gal, Laurie Schmidlin, to hang around with us for the month of April. Yippee!!
I'm amazed at how she can pull off absolutely any style, but the way she does layered & shabby makes me drool... heck, every time I visit her blog I just can't contain myself, it's so full of fabulousness!
Here's the first card served for our inspiration...

Um... yeah. One of my favourite Glitz Design collections, showcased to perfection. I just had to pick this one!! I knew I wanted these papers on my card too. Just a different layout... but it's all Dance In Sunshine, baby!

The only 'alien' supplies here are the buttons, string & a bloomer from Kaisercraft.
The layout that got me going with this one, comes from Retro Sketches #5:
