A big congrats to Linda, the newest Featured Stamper! After strolling thru her sweet gallery, I chose THIS to case. I kept the CAS design & sponging, but used different colors, different images & made mine a Christmas card.
I had the white piece already die cut so I used some Distress inks to sponge in some pink/reds from the upper left & some lime greens from the lower right. The pine bough was stamped a couple of times w/ a combo of the green Memento inks and the greeting was stamped w/ black. I added a narrow pine green layer & instead of using another white layer to use the embossing folder on, I embossed the front of the card. The trick w/ this is, because I only wanted the front embossed, I had to put the card front in upside down in the folder, so it needed to be a pattern that looked good going either direction. Anything else would just look upside down 🙂
Congrats again, Linda! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

That sponged panel looks fantastic against the lacy embossed background! Wonderful stamped image and sentiment set off perfectly by your die cut bow. Wowsers! I love this!

Julie, this is a beautiful Christmas card! I love the image and the colors that you used! Brilliant!
And, thank you for your advice regarding my Copics. I never thought that it may have been filled too full. That was the first time I used that particular marker since I bought it. And, now I know I'm to make sure all is dry before trying to use the blender pen. Someday I'll get the hang of it all! Thanks, again!

Julie - this is such a fun take on my Daisy Delight - The sponged corner colors are marvelous - I especially like the glow you got with the lime paired with the deeper more subtle color of the pine branches and border. I am also sensing just the slightest hint of red coming from inside that pretty paper bow - super for that bit of extra definition where white meets white. Thanks for wandering through my gallery today and caseing one of my cards.
