A big congrats to Heidi (stamptek), the newest Featured Stamper! What a beautiful, colorful gallery she has! I chose THIS card to CASE. I just loved the flowers & trimmed edge w/ the embossing on the right, so I kept those. I used different images, different embossing folder & different colors.
For my version, I stamped the outline flowers w/ worn lipstick close to the edge of piece of white card stock then trimmed around them. On an acrylic block, I smushed the lipstick & marigold ink pads, then spritzed the rubber of my solid flower image and pressed it to the inked block then stamped them on another piece of white c/s. I used a stamp positioner to line up the outline (but slightly off, to keep a bit of the white) & stamped it in black on top. I used the matching die to die cut them & attached them down the side. The left side was die cut & I sponged the two Distress inks, pulling them near the flower edge.
The coral panel on the right was die cut & embossed & attached under the edge of the flowers. I added just a bit more color to the flowers w/ a couple of Copic markers then added the big black gem centers & the greeting in the upper left.
Congrats again, Heidi! Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Beautiful card, Julie! I love your shading of the floral panel and thanks for the tip about how you inked the block for stamping the flowers! The hexagon embossing is so pretty!
