I'm a bit late, but here is my submission for Sunday's Featured Stamper Challenge, FS59. I love Amy's work and chose this card to inspire me: SFYTT One of a Kind by PickleTree at Splitcoaststampers. I used her general layout and color scheme. I also added some hodgepodge and felt flowers like Amy did on hers, and the three rows of ribbons. I started out loving this, but I'm afraid something at the bottom doesn't work for me. Maybe the Felt Flowers are a bit over the top?!? Anyway, I was just thinking last week that I'm not sure if I've EVER used Not Quite Navy, and it really is a nice color... so Amy talked me into it! I used Rose Red craft ink on my chipboard flower and it was too dark for the pomegranate felt flowers so I couldn't use those. The ribbon was a tough decision, but once I decided on Bashful Blue, I found three styles in that shade and went with them all! The Build-a-Brad in the center of the chipboard is using Little Pieces stamp set. The background stamp is the retired By Definition which is basically the same as a current stamp except a different definition... I hope it does Amy's justice, and TFL!

So sweet! The soft blue ribbons make evrything stand out in this simple but lovely laywout. Great job, the red flower makes the whole thing wow some more. Love it.

of course it does Amy's justice. I love your take on it. I espcially love how you did the ribbon, the three different styles in the same color is a subtle yet striking visual.
