Congratulations to Janine Brain aka Jay_Bee as Featured Stamper FS835. I especially loved taking a closer look at her early gallery as she discovered Prismacolors, Copics and Zentangle plus two of my favorite stampers Beate Johns (who I actually met once) & Michelle Zindorf. Janines watercolor creations always interest and inspire me.
I chose Matt_Maths_Exams by Jay_Bee at Splitcoaststampers to case for the Challenge because I always look for reason to use neglected supplies. If I immediately see a finished card in my head that is probably the direction I will travel.
I dusted off a trophy die last used when new, and her same label die for my background. I added texture to the label & layered it over a patterned paper. I tried shading my trophy die with Blends (with limited success) and used real ribbon rather than stamped.

Lovely version of that card I made. I have 2 students doing exams in May so will have to get creating again. Thank you so much for browsing my gallery and commenting on so many of my cards. I am off to check out your comments

Great way to congratulate someone. Love love love the sentiment/envelope text. And your dp and embossed panels are lovely. Although you used gray, this is looking decidedly famine to me. I love that! Great card.

Fab colors, papers, and die (I need to get a trophy die!). This is wonderful and a super case. Love it and love reading about how you decide what to do - I am just like that. Hugz
