This week's featured stamper is Beth. She has an absolutely lovely gallery. I chose this card to CASE: I am a Mermaid by scrapbook4ever at Splitcoaststampers Beth has several other tri-shutter cards in her gallery too. I kept the tri-shutter format, to make my first tri-shutter card, but changed it from a mermaid to a fall theme using this week's color challenge colors and featuring leaves in several of the panels.
I also tried, for the first time, the baby wipe stamping technique which was a lot of fun. I used the color challenge colors to create my custom ink pad and stamped the oak leaves, the oak tree, and the panel of trees. I stamped the evergreen tree using the Old Olive ink and stamped the sentiments with Cherry Cobbler. I sponged all the panels. I stamped the leaf from the Best of Autumn stamp using the custom ink pad and then thumped it with a versamark marker, using gold embossing powder to just put a few gold highlights here and there on the leaf. Unfortunately the shine doesn't show up in the photo. I fussy cut the leaf and popped it up with dimensionals.
This was a fun card to make. Beth, you have a lovely gallery. Thanks for looking.

Oh my goodness, you rocked this challenge. Thank you for CASEing one of my tri shutter cards. I own this stamp set and have yet to use it. Thanks for the inspiration!

Jaw drop! Wow Catherine! I am speechless (and we both know that is rare!). This card is absolutely incredible in every way. I love how you made your own custom ink pad so you have all these glorious fall colors showing in your stamped images so beautifully. I would never have thought to use this stamp set for this type of card, and I have to say, it looks incredible. What an amazing card you have made Catherine. ~Karen.
