Congrats, Judy, on being chosen as the featured stamper this week....such a fabulous gallery and a spectacular talent!!! I just love every card in Judy's awesome gallery!!! I finally settled on this adorable card called Be Mine....I kept the same layout but chaged the colors, stamps, added the ribbon (because I smudged the edge of the image...arrrrr!!) and the seeds. Yes, you heard correctly...I added celery seeds to the flower center with Crystal Effects so this card would qualify for the DDC challenge this week hosted by Joanne (sleepyinseattle) to make a Springy card with seeds....well, the flower is about as Springy as this is going to get!!! You can see all the other DDC cards here. This also qualifies for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply #77 challenge to use embossing (the stove was embossed). I also used the colors for the Clear Dollar Stamps Weekend Color Challenge on PCP: Blush Blossom, Riding Hood Red, and Wild Wasabi. Whew....this 4 challenge card wore me out!!! Toooo much brain activity today!!!
The adorable old stove from Clear Dollar Stamps Ageless Antiques was stamped with Archival Jet Black ink and embossed with clear ep. It was watercolored with Ranger Black Soot Distress Ink, Wild Wasabi was used for the *floor* and Blush Blosson around the stove. The SU scalloped border punch was used for the scalloped border and SU Wild Wasabi dp was used for the squares. TFL and I hope you have a great Sunday!!!
