This is my entry for today's featured stamper, Stampfilled Dreams. She has an awesome gallery with lots of really neat ideas. In the end, I chose to case this card:
I changed the stamps, colors and tweeked the sketch by matting every layer. I omitted the brads and clothespin, and added a sheer ribbon. I added gllitter to the flower centers and sentiment, though it does not show on my photo. I added CB embossing to my bg layer. I forgot to add my butterfly for the photo... but will do so later. LOL!
I used the Large Daisy Patch from Cornish Heritage Farms for my image, coloring it with markers in Always Artichoke, So Saffron and pouncing the centers of the daisies with really rust. I stamped off once as well. The papers are SS and AA, and DP from K&Co Scrap Pack.
Thanks for looking... it was good to play on a Sunday... it's a rarity for me!

Wow!!! I LOVE it. It has a girly frill to it that I really adore. I'm not that great at matting - but I have realized that matting can make a huge difference. Thanks so much for sharing.
