I decided I would use all of the bits of DP and the embossings I had lying around my desk that I hadn't out away yet, to make a card, so I have cased the same one I made for Kathy (aka Wattle) as Featured Stamper:
I just changed a couple of things.....it is also monochromatic which qualifies it for the StampinB challenge....When I look at this photo I have to smile to myself as I am not at all a BLING person IRL...but look at this!! LOL! I started out stamping not using bling at all - now there is hardly a card that doesn't have it on in one form or another - it's an evolving art...or is it us that evolve!?
This card was made with white embossing on blue card layered on white and then a scalloped rectangle (thanks Melinda80) in Navy 'bubbled' pattern. I have used the same striped DP as on the other card but added torn corners and paper piercing - don't look too closely at that - my paper piercer came undone - can you believe that, apparently it happens to one every now and then - trust me to get it - so I had to continue holding just the needle part - no so easy - Upsy Daisy alright - more like Oopsy Daisy!! LOL!!!
I have also added blue/silver ribbon, although it looks just silver here...and silver brads....and wha-la one card made and a tidier desk - mainly because I moved most of my gear onto the table to sit with the family while they watched a movie...so who am I really fooling!?!? But I feel like I accomplished something...one more card for Kathy...what a pleasure it has been casing your gallery Kathy - I salute you my friend - and my StampinB card done...monochromatic...I have just learned that term since I read the StampinB Challenge - so thank you Ladies....I am learning every day!!!

This is a cool card. I love the papers you used and the brads -- two on one side, one on the other. And thanks for playing our monochromatic challenge too! Good job!!!

I LOVE the Upsy Daisy embossed and then pierced, the scallops make it look like lace behind the main image - the colors are fantastic. Just a true beauty, Linda! Thanks for playing along.
