I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Judy (jaydekay) several weeks ago and she also joined our shoebox swap group yesterday (along with YLM). What fun it was to visit!
Since Judy holds the distinction of being a Featured Stamper, I wanted to make a card in her honor.
This gal is a fantastic artist! If you haven't checked out her gallery, you'll definitely want to!
I kept Judy's layout, but changed the image to Sarah Kay Rainy Days. I used a very cool paper from The Paper Company called Peppermint Raindrops as the background. Then I paper pieced the image with dp, added gorgeous silk flowers which were a RAK from jaydekay (Thank YOU!), used dew drops for the flower centers and rain dots scattered around the image. It's hard to see, but I also used crystal effects on the puddle to suggest water.
I know it doesn't do justice to Judy's fantabulous card, but it sure was fun to make in her honor!
Judy is also a Washingtonian and we've finally had two days of "sun breaks" (as we call them here in Washington State). So I do believe there will be less rainy days ahead. TG!! (Or at least we can only hope!)
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful week!
