Congrats to Jackie (westie2), the Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast (FS294)! What a fab gallery full of splendid designs! It was hard to pick just one, but I kept coming back to her You Make Me Smile. I was fascinated by the open holes and designer paper showing through. I kept the layout and design, but used different images, slightly different color and added a row of embossed dots across the center.
I'm not quite sure how Jackie achieved the holey design, but I did the holes in the bottom of my card with a long reach 1/2 inch hole punch. Pretty simple. In place of her yummy drink image, I used a Sizzix/Tim Holtz Wish die. I die cut it out of a separate piece of white then die cut that w/ a Spellbinders classic oval. I also used the ovals to cut out the card front opening and a piece of the raspberry dotted paper. I attached the Wish behind the dotted paper then to the inside of the card. The images are from Our Daily Bread designs and the greeting was stamped on the front next to the oval opening.
Congrats again, Jackie! Enjoy your week! Details and inside view are on my blog: The Write Stuff
