What a wonderful gallery Vera has!!! I chose Vera's Vases in Vogue to CASE for a birthday card for my DIL.
Last week I spent a perfectly delightful afternoon in Fort Lauderdale having lunch and shopping with two SCSers, cherylquilts and BeckyTE. One of my purchases was this wonderful Lockhart stamp and I couldn't wait to ink it up. Used watercolour paper, an aqua-painter and SU watercolour crayons. Added a little sponging to highlight the image.
Things I changed:
- instead of the partial mat and faux stitching, I used a full mat behind the image
- used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the background panel instead of designer paper
- added a layer to the sentiment panel
Thanks for looking! And thanks to Vera for the inspiration...

Thanks so much for CASEing one of my cards in this week's Featured Stamper challenge, Heather! I love the soft colors of your watercolored image. The cuttlebugged background is absoluty striking. Your card is a beauty!!!

This is truly beautiful! You did a wonderful job of watercolouring it. Love that ef too. From the little bit I can see of the inside - it must be as pretty as the front. Your DIL will love it.
