A big CONGRATS to Lynn (aka allee's)! The Featured Stamper title is well deserved for Lynn! For my card, I chose THIS wonderful card of Lynn's to case. I loved the masked strip & silhouette image so I kept those. I changed the images, added a horizontal sponged line (because it looked like my little boy was sitting on top of the water) & added an extra layer. I rarely work on the card front..for me, that's just asking for trouble. Yeah, like I need more trouble, lol.
To begin, I masked the sides and sky are of the strip and sponged ink from the blue rainbow ink pad. Then I removed the sky mask and placed it over the water and sponged in the sun and sky using the birthstone & desert heat rainbow ink pads. After removing all the masks, that's when I discovered my little boy looked like he was sitting on the water, lol. So I masked the sky again and sponged a green horizontal line using the fresh greens ink pad. After adding the sentiment, lg cattails and black layer my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished.
Congrats again, Lynn! Enjoy your week and thanks so much for looking!

Oh Julie - this is so precious!! Love how you expanded your sponging out of the box, so to speak - it fits this image so well and adds to its boyish charm. The cat tails behind him on the edge were a nice touch to complete the scene! Just the card to show your wonderful talent and give Lynn some kudos!!

Julie, I have this stamp and the little girl silhouette on my wish list. This is stunning. I love your brilliant palette to showcase him. Wonderful card.
