Hi everyone!! Happy Sunday (well...here in NY it's Sunday already!!!)
I am SOOOOOOOOO excited that today's Featured Stamper is Shannon aka E3stamper!!! She is SOOOOOOO talented and SOOOOOO sweet...I am just thrilled for her!!!
I chose to case Shannon's Doodle Think Fast. I cased the one on the right, featuring a GORGEOUS flower from Doodle This.
Now, when Doodle This first came out, I HAD to have it...and it's been collecting dust since.
But, while I was perusing Shannon's gallery, which is chock full of gorgeousness, I had the idea to use the Doodle This flower as a poinsettia. I am sure this has been done before, but I was a real *lightbulb* moment for me I stamped the flower 5 times, watercolored them all using Ruby Red & Riding Hood Red, added some Dazzling Diamonds with a 2 Way Glue Pen, and then assembled them.
Once I had my poinsettia done, it was a no brainer to reach for my new Holiday Treasures DSP. The card came together fairly quickly after that.
Here's what I changed:
1. Used the same stamp set but changed the colors.
2. Stamped the flower 5 times
3. Changed the color scheme & used DSP
4. Used hardware instead of bling
5. Added layers & piercing
Thanks SO much for looking and Shannon, Congratulations! Enjoy your well deserved, special day!!!
