I don't usually do the Featured Stamper challenge (because our Sundays are so busy!!), but I actually had some time to make a card today and I wanted to make something to honor this week's FS, my new friend and fellow Punchkateer, Cathleen (aka ctorina here on SCS). Congratulations on being selected, Clazi!! You have an amazing gallery filled with stunning and quite classy creations. I was rather intimidated because I could never hope to come close to duplicating your unique and ultra-sophisticated style, so I allowed myself to be inspired by one of your works rather than trying to truly CASE it. I hope that you won't object or be offended.
I really enjoyed the sketch I used yesterday, from this week's Limelight Papercrafts Sketch Challenge 47 (LLPC047) to use the given sketch and try to incorporate your favorite FLOWERS in some way. So I wanted to try using it again. It was such a fun one!
I also tried a new-to-me challenge, the EtsyInspired Challenge, EIC88. (This week's challenge is sponsored by Limelight Papercrafts, a favorite of mine.) We were to make a project inspired by one of the creations found in the Creation Designs Etsy shop. I was inspired by these sparkly, jeweled vintage earrings: http://www.etsy.com/listing/40674023...igned-earrings
So, there you have it! An odd amalgamation of inspiration, but I'm pleased with my result.
Congratulations, Cathleen!! Enjoy your time in the FS spotlight!

Emzi, what a delightful creation! Love your chipboard letters and both you and Pamzi were into jewels today. Very pretty indeed!!! Glad you got some time to play today. I'm sure it makes for a happy Emzi.
