I am late, late, late for a very important date! For some reason, I forgot Sundays are featured stamper challenge day, and then to top that horrible faux pas off, Stamp Muse was the featured stamper and I love her work. So here is my very late entry. I had a hard time choosing which card to do because her work is so fun. I chose this one:
because I loved her story about when she was a child and the art project she did - plus I love the colors. I kept the colors the same, but I left off the panels under the butterfly, used a different stamp, added braided rick rack, and added some different embellishments to the butterfly. This stamp set is one of my all time favorite SU! sets - cards always come out so interesting with it.
Thanks Emily for your gorgeous and inspiring gallery.
Please excuse the piece of red protective film on the left panel - I didn't notice it was there until I uploaded my picture.

ohhh I really like what you did with this. I don't like the butterfly I used on mine but felt honor-bound to use a butterfly. Yours looks like he belongs there. I love the way you background stamped the butterfly as well, everything goes together so beautifully!
