This is my card for the Featured Stamper, but being green it also fits the Limited Supply Challenge. I have to say I did enjoy your gallery Jami, there was so much variety - congratuations on being Featured Stamper - well deserved. I chose this card to case:
What made this choice even easier was the fact that I had taken a card out of the UFO (unfinished objects) box and it just happened to have the tree on it...so, a little bit (okay then a lot) of changes and I came up with this.
I changed:
- firstly I flipped the card on it's side
- used wire mesh through the CB rather than a scorepal for the scoring....I am happy with the result.
- paisley CB EF instead of DP
- slightly different image
- different stamp used on bg card
- also did inking and sponging around edges
- changed sentiment
Thankfully I had the butterflies thanks to a RAK from Lesley (Marleygo) I have used these quite a bit, they are so cute and can add so much to a card!
Thanks for looking - hopefully I have done Jami's card justice - what do you think!?!?

Lovely Linda! Just had to take another look at that "scoring" without a scorepal. You are one clever lady, love the tree image and all the little butterlflies too. TFS

I know you must look at everything, wondering- 'could I get that thru the CB'? Bubba is gonna love this! I recognized Jamie's card when I saw yours! What a beautiful case. Those buterflies add so much. Love all the dimension here Linda- beautiful card!
