This is my card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge - to CASE Joanne (sleepyinseattle). I was absolutely delighted to see Joanne as the Featured Stamper today! Her gallery is chock full of gorgeous creations, many of which I already had in my favorites! I kept coming back to the many beautiful cards that Joanne has made with the Friends 24-7 set. I chose this one to CASE: WT223 New Catty Inspired by sleepyinseattle at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the same stamp set and general idea but changed:
-the colors
-the sentiment stamp
-matted the flower panel
-omitted the pin
-added pearls
I stamped the flowers twice onto Gina K. 80 lb. Ivory and colored them with SU markers. I cut out one flower and popped it up over the other. Using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, I stamped the background onto the Ivory base. Cut the ovals for the sentiment with Oval Nesties. Added some ribbon and adhesive pearls to finish it.
Thanks, Beth, for your awesome choice of FS today and huge congratulations, Joanne, on the very well-deserved honor of being Featured Stamper! I love your work!

Oh my, Carla, is this ever striking! I love those colors together, and with that ribbon and small pearls, I do believe you've gone and created a work of art. Wonderful tribute to Joanne!

Carla, this is so beautiful and very elegant, as your work always is. You have such style! I really love the Razzleberry with the Kiwi, I just wrote this color combination down so I can try them together. Awesome card!!
Thanks so much for playing today and for your always kind and generous comments!
