 | | Today, the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS26 on Splitcoast is EVERYONE! Each of us is our own Featured Stamper!
I found out one important thing with this challenge, I found it much harder to CASE myself than I would have imagined. To me, it's just hard to pick a card I've previously made then make another with changes. I find myself wanting to make the same card. I usually don't have that problem when CASEing someone else. In the end, I kept the layout and most of the details, but changed the colors, the stamps used and the embossing folder. Here's the original card called Butterfly Dream.
See what I mean? They look like sisters. One a butterfly, the other a dragonfly. The images on the new dragonfly card are all from Our Daily Bread designs. After sponging the background, I stamped the cattails , small dragonfly and flourish image around them to make the frame. I used a little bleach to remove the color in select areas.
The white background was embossed with a Sizzix folder and some stickles was added to the images. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much, Cindy, for hosting this challenge and I wish you the best of luck in your new venture. And I'm so excited to be working w/ Bridget, Judy and Stacy. This is gonna be awesome!
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff |
