Woo-hoo! I was so excited to see my sweet and sassy buddy, jdmommy (Anne), chosen as today's featured stamper! Does this woman love red or what? I think I've become a huge fan of red as a result of Anne's spectacular use of it in her beautiful creations.
I chose Anne's Octagon Butterflies because I've been wanting to try my hand at this stained glass coloring.
Although Anne's doesn't have any red in it, mine does in her honor.
Things I changed:
1. stamps
2. colors
3. sentiment panel instead of ribbon
Obviously, my stamped image is much larger than hers that she put into an octagon. I used my Copic markers to color this image, but I'm going to also try some different coloring mediums with this image.
In case you can't read the sentiment, it is one of my favorite quotes by Henry David Thoreau:
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
Doesn't a quote like this inspire and motivate you?
CONGRATULATIONS, Anne!

Oh, you sweet thang, you!! Sassy? Me? I think you've been lookin' in the mirror, honey! I love this stained glass beauty, Charlene! The RED is gorgeous! (You expected that, didn't you?) I love the sentiment too, and the placement of it! It's such an honor to be chosen, and cased too, but the real honor is the friendship and connection I feel with you, and so many others who have come to be friends. Thanks so much for playing today, and for sharing the Dare and MMTPT with me!!
