I was so excited to see that Karen B Barber was today's Featured Stamper. Her gallery is full of gorgeous-ness!!!
There are so beautiful cards to chose from for today's challenge.
I chose this:CC245 - SUO -A BOW FOR MICHELLE by Karen B Barber at Splitcoaststampers A Bow For Michelle. Those flowers that Karen used were my inspiration point for my card.
I changed the following:
1. Turned card base
2. Tied bows to connect focal point flowers
3. Used liquid applique on flowers and colored them with chalks.
(This is a card I make for special occasions, my friend, Kim taught me how use liquid applique and chalk years ago. I have used this design that Kim gave me, too.) I think it is a very special occasion that today Karen is the Featured Stamper!!
Have a great day and stamp happy!!
