A big congrats to Gail, the newest Featured Stamper! What an amazing gallery & what an amazing stamper! I really love THIS wonderful card & the hand drawn elements she added. I kept the colors for the most part, & added some hand drawn & colored faux stitched circles, but I used a different layout, left off the embossing, & used different stamps.
I used a circle maker to draw all the circles & added the stitch lines, then I colored them in. I was also inspired by a card I saw that Jennifer Dove did where she drew the circles so I thought it would be fun to try it. And it was fun... except for the part where I used the long banner I already had (out of other card stock) instead of cutting it again out of X-Press It. I tested the red Copics on it (which are notorious for bleeding out of the lines) & they were fine. I didn't test the turquoise. It spread like crazy! So I redid those on the other paper, hand cut them & glued them on top. What a pain! At least the rest of the card was easy...just some die cuts.
Congrats again, Gail! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff
