Barb(BarbieP) is the Featured Stamper this week....and I couldn't be happier for her. We have developed a face-to-face friendship because of SCS....and I'm delighted to call her "friend". She creates wonderful cards and has a real strength for masculine and vintage style cards, but can do any style with ease and panache.
Barb knows that I am NOT a CASER, but can be inspired by someone's lovely work. I chose this CARD for several reasons: 1. I love it. 2. She was kind enough to send it to me for Easter 3. I admired it greatly when she first uploaded it. I used a floral image on an overlay bg, but hers is much more CAS than mine. : )
A BIG hug and congratulations, Barb. An honor long overdue.

Sallie, thank you so much for honoring me today with this beautiful card. I love that BG die, but your floral panel is over the top. Your sponging is perfect as is the placement of the flowers and butterfly. And the sentiment is wonderful! A beautiful spring card on this Easter Morning! Again, thank you so much for playing today - I really appreciate it :-)

I love the colors on this....nasturtiums are a fav..they have such an old fashioned look to them. Your framing is wonderful and I love the thin gold outline on the floral panel. A wonderful tribute to Barb!

Oh, Sallie! This is gorgeous, as always! I agree about not being happier to have Barb as this week's Featured Stamper! Will definitely make a card this week for her! Hugs, sweet friend!

Love the simplicity of Barb's card that you cased and love the elegance of your beautiful card. Although the die background is lovely, your coloring is what really makes this card. Wonderfully done.
