Welcome to the Featured Stamper challenge. Today's featured stamper is Melodyaka lacyquilter. Melody has been a long time member of SCS and a friend to many of us. If my memory serves me right she was one of the original "challenge chasers". Many years ago (2004- 2005) there was a large group of us who would wait every morning to see when the challenge was going to go live and we would have an ongoing chat thread in the forum while we waited. I hadn't thought of the challenge chasers for quite a while and it brought back fond memories. Go grab your cup of coffee or hot tea and settle in for a good time browsing Melody's gallery.
Go to the Featured Stamper's gallery and CASE a card, following these simple Casing Guidelines:
1. Change 2 or more things on the Featured Stamper's project. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different -- but similar because you don't own the exact image. Please list the changes you made in your description.
2. Give credit to the original stamper and put a link to the original card in your description.
3. Fan Club members may upload today (Sunday). Non-Fan Club members are encouraged to play, but please wait until Monday to upload your creations to give our volunteer moderators a day off. This is so much appreciated.
4. Please note the following regarding Sketch Challenge cards: If you are keeping the same layout but changing most everything else on the featured stamper's card, make sure it isn't a sketch challenge card (SC###). The reason is because it is essentially is a CASE of the sketch since it isn't the Featured Stamper's original idea. Please be sure to check the keywords!
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit.

Congratulations Melody! I have long admired your gallery for your use of color, techniques, creative card folds and boxes. I will be back later in the week. Enjoy being the Featured Stamper!
Congrats Melody! I like others, am surprised you have not been featured before. You certainly give lots of us inspiration and enjoyment looking at your fabulous creations.

I am playing challenge catch-up, because I really wanted to participate in Melody's Featured Stamper event. Belatedly, congratulations, Melody...such a great gallery to browse!
I used this card of Melody's: DEC18VSNMINI2 victorian lady for its vintage style and its layout, which is similar to Sketch Challenge 727 that I am also entering, but Melody did not use it for her layout. I kept her pink shades though I used a bit more of a vibrant hue. I changed my neutral color from cream to white, and I added blue as well. I also added ribbon and rotated my oval focal point.
