I have been a big fan of this week's Featured Stamper since I first saw her cards in the Fan Club. I love Amy's, aka Shirleysgirl, fun, snarky sense of humor and her fabulous collage style. She also shares tons of fun memories with her wonderful scrapbook layouts.
I'm working on donation cards for seniors and thought this bright, cheery card would be the ticket: CT0921 Artistic Lady by Shirleysgirl at Splitcoaststampers. I kept Amy's colors and the format but changed the image and turned it landscape. Since my image is mostly white, I used the inks as watercolors to fill in the white around the flowers. I tried to do this on one card masking, but I got too much bleed; so I cut four rectangles, stamped, colored and then mounted on a piece of cardstock. Like Amy, I embossed a piece of Velum but a different message. It's all mounted on a white card base that barely shows around the edges.
Congratulations Amy on being this week's Featured Stamper. Your Gallery is filled with fun, inspiring art and I hope you enjoy the cards made in your honor. And, thanks for inspiring me and helping me send a bit of color and cheer to someone who is housebound. Hope everyone today is surrounded with a bit of color and some cheer, too. I bet a lot of you are pretty sick of white right now. BRRRRRRRRR. TFL

What a wonderful case, Debbie. I love the flowers and velum. You find the best cards to case and you do such lovely inspired things to paper and ink and stamps. I adore this card. Hugz
