Happy Easter! And a big congrats to Jenn, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a wonderful, colorful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I really liked the color combo so I kept that (though mine ended up more purple than violet, lol), but I changed the snowflakes into stars & made my own bg since I couldnÂ’t find the dp she used.
To make my bg, I sponged the violet ink from the bottom up & the pistachio ink from the top down onto a piece of white c/s. Water drops from a water brush were splattered across the panel to make pale circles. Then I used a dot stencil & a white marker to add whiter dots & I also used a dry marker I touched to the surface of the 2 ink pads to make darker small dots. For the bigger dots I used a pencil eraser touched to the ink pads & also a white pigment ink pad. A tiny star image was stamped here & there w/ the violet & pistachio inks.
The finished bg was die cut twice & I turned the larger, outer layer around & put it back around the main panel. Then I added all the die cut & sponged star frames. The greeting was stamped w/ the Versafine purple ink, die cut & the edges sponged.
Congrats again, Jenn! Happy Easter to everyone! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Lovely Julie - the thumbnail stood out last night so of course I was invited to have a look. That is how I found out about Jenn being the FS .... I never get a chance to play FSC so I stayed up to make sure I could case her sweet card that I saw before on her blog. Thanks Julie - so fun!
