Of all times for me to be out of town, I missed a very important day for my dd e3stamper who is this weeks Featured Stamper. What is weird is I told her before I left Friday "now watch, you will be picked as this Sunday's FS", guess I sorta jinxed myself huh? Oh Well no never mind what week it was I am so happy for her. She is a fabulous stamper and so deserving of the honor. So in honor and in effort to play catch up this is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE - Mark Your Spot. Top Right corner with sentiment is the bookmark. This is also the 1st of many this week CASES for FEATURED STAMPER - The Frogtastic e3stamper- aka Shannon (my sweet and talented daughter). For my 1st CASE I choose her REAL WILD BAYOU WISEMEN card. I changed the layout & colors and left off the ribbon replacing it with a bookmark. This set was just released by TREEHOUSE STAMP COMPANY and is just gorgeous for making Christmas Cards with. The main image is stamped in Black stazon then colored with SU markers and shadowed with Copic marker. The sentiment is stamped in brocade blue with the stars in barely banana. I applied stickles to teh star and candle flame on the image. Hope you like it.

Woohooo Neva! I am so tickled for Shannon too! This challenge was made even more fun since we have met in person! I had so much fun casing her little clipboard, and like, you, I'll go back to case more!
I love your sweet Wise Men card! What a perfect choice of stamp sets to use for the bookmark challenge! Love your choice of DPs and the great coloring/shading of those cute kings!
