Default FS495 {7/30/16}

Congratulations to Helen, {aka helekins},
our Featured Stamper #495!


She has a beautiful {gallery} full of color with something for everyone!

You can grab your Featured Stamper badge below, Helen!



*My sample: My Little Dog

***FS495 Gallery Submissions***

Keyword: FS495



HOW DO I PLAY?:

Go to the Featured Stamper's gallery and CASE a card, following these simple CASEing Guidelines:

1. Change 2 or more things on the Featured Stamper's project. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different -- but similar because you don't own the exact image. Please list the changes you made in your description.

2. Give credit to the original stamper and put a link to the original card in your description.

3. Fan Club members may upload today (Sunday). Non-Fan Club members are encouraged to play, but please wait until Monday to upload your creations to give our volunteer moderators a day off. This is so much appreciated.

4. Please note the following regarding Sketch Challenge cards: If you are keeping the same layout but changing most everything else on the featured stamper's card, make sure it isn't a sketch challenge card (SC###). The reason is because it is essentially is a CASE of the sketch since it isn't the Featured Stamper's original idea. Please be sure to check the keywords!

If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping! But please remember...NEW uploads only!

UPLOADING DIRECTIONS:

1. Keyword: FS495

2. In the Details Section of your card, please describe the changes you have made, give credit to the Featured Stamper, and link her card. Fill in the products that you used in the blanks provided so that others can CASE your card too! Please do not only link back to your personal blog.

If you are new to challenges, please feel free to this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get you stamping!

NEED HELP LINKING A CARD? FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Open 2 windows. One for your card, one for the this thread.
2. In this thread, click on reply and type what you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window, highlight the address for your card. (The address bar will say Forums at Splitcoaststampers.
4. Click edit. Click Copy.
5. Go back to this thread. Click Paste.

I noticed quite a few watercolor works and thus I decided to paint the background.

Beautiful gallery Helen!
I don't have many larger stamps to color, so I took a little different approach to this challenge, combining it with the IC556 - Paper Art challenge from yesterday.

Here is my card:

Smile FS495 Wonderful Leaves

Helen- had to dip into your wonderful gallery again- this time, inspired by your card the Mother of all Butterflies- loved the wonderful combo of orange, black, turquoise! Here's Wonderful Leaves- made with stamped leaves embellished with die cut and embossed leaves- a "tag" with my sentiment, and a triple strand bow combo. Have a great Sunday!

I could spend a month in your beautiful gallery, Helen. Congratulations and have a wonderful week. My card is Pet Loss Card, inspired by your Lots of Happiness. I kept a "pet" theme - and the basic design. What really caught my eye on your card were the paw prints added to the background...My kittie had to go off center to show off the paw prints I added.
