Congratulations flowergal36 on being today's featured stamper! I browsed your wonderful gallery before hitting the sack last night and decided on this beauty: FS69 Marvelous Maren by flowergal36 at Splitcoaststampers, your gallery is awesome! You really have your coloring techniques down to a tee! Thanks for all the inspiration from your wonderful cards!....now on to this CASE of a CASE.....
Changed the shape of the card, the dp, the image, colors and downsized to one ribbon! Two would have been impossible! One was hard enough. LOL Your card was so crisp and clean and beautiful, this one here isn't. I have trouble with crisp and clean for some reason.
Also had a bit of a problem inking my clear stamp. I took markers to the stamp, but for some crazy reason unbeknownst to me, it would not totally adhere. I still stamped it, but then filled in with w/c pencils. After all was colored, including sponging the bg of the bird, I versa marked and clear eb. Cut it out, layered it with black then white cs that I sponged red pepper and doodled edges.
Put my red w/black dots dp on black cs then on a white card doodling the edges.
Ran some black cs through the cb then sanded off the dots, sponged edges whisper white. Wrapped and taped and tied in a knot the ribbon.....this took the longest! LOL
Put it all together, popping up the main panel and called it done.........Well, Dawn, thanks for letting us CASE you today.......hope you like it!.....TFL :0)
