I was so glad to find a bit of time to put a card together in honor of this week's featured stamper Gloria. Congrats and thanks for the inspiration from your bountiful and beautiful gallery. I chose to case this card: MMTPT59 BEE-UTIFUL BALLERINA by GloriousGreetings at Splitcoaststampers I loved the layout, but substituted paper for the ribbon layer. I chose a different image and my insect is a butterfly instead of a bee!!! I also kept the corner floral and changed up the color patterns. I am planning on using this card for my grandmother's 100th birthday in June.
