I'm so honored to case the wonderful Featured Stamper, Kathy Jones (Wattle)! I've been a fan of hers since the first day I spotted one of her cards. She's fabulous!! I was so excited for her that I couldn't sleep last night. You would have thought it was me! I'm just glad to see everyone else sees in her what I have from the get go!! Here's to you, Kathy!!!
Since I needed a sympathy card for a lady at church, I chose to case this card from Wattle as it has soft colors:
I changed out the dsp, the image, placement of pearls, added buttons/ribbon and sentiment. It was hard to change anything because I loved hers just the way it was, but the rules are the rules! I'm also a pearl and paper piercing fanatic, so it was hard not to do total pearls, so I added a couple buttons and ribbon to compensate. I still slid a few little pearls in there though!!!! That's Wattle's signature piece so I couldn't leave it out totally.
Here's to you KATHY! CONGRATULATIONS TO MY BESTEST FRIEND I NEVER MET!!!!

Pam, this is stunning. The colors so soft and all the details are amazing. I know what you mean about not wanting to change anything on a card that is perfect but you have certainly made your own perfection here! Awesome job!
