I use to be a stamp snob and pretty much disdained dies. Of course, I now own almost as many dies as stamps (well not really but I do have a ton of dies now). So, it was really wonderful to view the Gallery of this week's Featured Stamper, Rose Reynolds, which is FILLED with fabulous and delightful cards made with tons of dies (I'm pretty sure she has more dies than I do, but I'd give her a run for her money). I landed on this beautiful card: Garden of Thoughts by Rose Reynolds at Splitcoaststampers
I was really drawn to that wonderful diamond window in the center with the striped design inside. So, I kept her diamond along with her floral theme and colors but I moved my design to the corners with the SS die. And I needed a birthday card so I switched up the sentiment.
Congratulations Rose. Your Gallery was a ton of fun and inspiration. I love your creative use of all those fun dies and you have inspired me to use them more. I hope you enjoy your week in the spotlight. And, since we are all a little bit older today, I'm sure we are all a bit more fabulous too. Have a great day. TFL

Fabulous design and case of Rose's pretty card. Love the dies you used and that positive sentiment. Those flowers are gorgeous with the sparkly centers! Your colors of yellow, pink and green are so lovely!

Debbie, I love all the elements to your card. It's a beautiful case. Thank you. My dies have taken over and I keep finding more that I "need!" LOL
I also wanted to add I love the colors you chose. Made such beautiful flowers.

Beautiful! The BG is amazing. I love how you did the embossing and that EF is awesome. The flowers are beautiful, especially with the Stickle centers.

Love it! What a cheery card this is! Spring flowers, fabulous die, great layout. Makes me happy. (I started with punches but I must confess that my die collection is a bit over the top. My very understanding hubby occasionally asks me when I'll be hosting the "grand opening" of my store.)
