A big congrats to Naomi, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a fun, colorful gallery it was hard to choose. I did choose THIS card to case. I loved the triple stamped layers so I kept those, but I have my layers telescoping inward instead of outward, I used different colors & different images.
For my card, I first die 3 pieces of white card stock then used the largest Vintage Label die on the topmost layer. I aligned it on the next layer & die cut the next smallest label die & repeated this step for the smallest label in the center. Then I attached the vine image on my Misti & inked it w/ the cottage ivy & bamboo leaves for the top layer, bamboo, pear tart & new sprout for the next layer, and pear tart, new sprout & cantaloupe for the 3rd layer. I used the largest die cut label for the very center & used the cantaloupe & dandelion to stamp it. Before I attached them together, I sponged the inside edges using the same inks then added some leftover paper scraps to elevate the layers slightly.
The greeting & birds were die cut & I colored the birds to look like goldfinches. A few die cut vine flourishes were tucked around the right side along w/ some flowers.
Congrats again, Naomi! Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

This is just stunning, with all the layers and detail! I have been watching the goldfinches outside in our yard as they bob around this spring, and they are one of my favorite birds. Your card is gorgeous!

GORGEOUS! You never disappoint me with your beautiful use of color and die cuts. I love that you wove the vine through the die cut and your Goldfinches are exquisitely colored.
