I changed the stamp, layout and colours.
Used the same theme ( I don't have the same stamp she used)
I have just purchased this cute Happy Hopper stamp called "Bunny Cruiseand couldn't wait to use it.
I used this weeks colour challenge - Bermuda bay, crushed curry and Melon mambo. I used this weeks sketch challenge #SC244 for my layout.
Image was stamped with Stazon jet black on water colour paper and water coloured with Stampin Up reinkers. I clear embossed the glass and water. Added diamond stickles to the fishes fins. I stamped and coloured another duck image and popped it up. Matted image with Melon Mambo, crushed and crushed curry. Used the SU scalloped border punch for the BB and MM edges. Sewed edges. Made the Ribbon flower and button embellishment and attached to image panel. The Designer paper is from a Martha Stewart pack. Matted dp with MM and CC. Base card is BB 5"x6 1/2". I ran the BB strip through the CB with Divine Swirl embossed folder and sanded swirls with coarse sanding paper. Sewed onto DP and sewed around edges. Made the scalloped MM corners. Pierced all scallops. Image panel is popped up.

You're amazing with all the challenges you pull together for one card. This is one sweet card with that image. Ah, how I wish I could envision my life just like this card. It's precious.

So sweet and adorable. I can see where your inspiration came from yet this is uniquely all your own. Wonderful. By the way, I like your new avitar too. (Guess it's not so new any more....)
