Hi there.
... first time I'm doing the Featured Stamper challenge and I just hope that my link to Loll's beautiful card is going to work!! Her cards are so beautiful and it was such fun looking at all of them.
Being part of a family who loves birdwatching it wasn't difficult for me to choose which of Loll's cards I wanted to CASE. I've chosen her Flourish Birdcage found here: Flourish Birdcage by Loll Thompson at Splitcoaststampers Thompson (hope that worked!!).
I've used kraft cardstock instead of balsa wood, for my label die and I've stamped the birdcage, by Glitz, on kraft cardstock, cut it out and mounted it on foam tape. The flourish I've used is the Fancy Flourish by MFT and I've punched the flowers with a small punch I've had for ages. I've used a lighter green and pink for the flourish and flowers, than Loll. I've added some pearls as well.
My sentiment also says 'For you', but mine I got ages ago as a free gift with a magazine and I don't have the details of it any more.
I think that covers everything.
Thanks for the inspiration Loll!!
Hope you like my card!
Thanks for stopping by.

Petra, what a beautiful card! Love the shape of the backdrop and your flourish and flowers are so pretty in the soft pink and green. Love the addition of the pearls ... especially the three at the top - they add such an elegant detail. Thanks so much for playing along this week!!

What a beautiful card, and a lovely tribute to Loll! I was also struck by the ferny background you provided. Nice to see a bit of nature from your neck of the woods!
