Okay . . . I think I may have gone TOTALLY overboard on this card!! I cased this lovely card of Kathy's (aka Wattle) for today's featured stamper challenge (FS116):
I just kept going and going and going . . . aaaaack! Somebody STOP me!! I also did this as part of a color challenge posted over on Jaron Winder's blog (which just happened to very closely match Kathy's card, too!). For those of you who don't know, he is a former employee and AWESOME presenter for Stampin' Up who just got laid off about a week and a half ago . . . he decided to start doing color challenges on his blog:
Stamps: Bella Toile, Flannel Plaid, Small Letter Set (JustRite), Pocket Silhouettes, Vintage Butterflies by Innovative Stamp Creations
