I was happy to see Joanne as today's featured stamper. I have long admired her gallery. Congratulations Joanne! I chose this card of yours: ISC Daisy jhg 8_15 by jojot at Splitcoaststampers
I thought I was going to learn a new language doing those triangles!! They gave me fits. I colored my Gerbera daisy w/ koh-i-noor pencils & baby oil. I changed the bg to the birtday cuttlebug folder, left off a panel & the piercing. I popped the triangles on 3-D dots.
I hope I did you justice Joanne.
Thanks for stopping to take a look.

Right into my faves! I love the layout, the bright popping colours, those gorgeous flowers....and a neat way to use that folder! I keep discarding whatever I try with that bg, so perhaps I can successfully case your case ;) lol! TFS!

WOW! You did an awesome job on this card. The colors really pop. I'm not good at doing triangles and you made them work well. Great job!

I thought for a second about casing this card but it looked like it might be harder than first glance might indicate. You did a wonderful job - really! I love your flowers and that embossing is wonderful. Super case job!

Thanks for the giggle about the new language, and thanks for sharing your gorgeous card with us, Karen! I loved this card of Jo's, too, but I knew I'd probably be speaking a new language also. Hee! Awesome!!
