I intend to do as many cards as I can for this month's Hope You Can Cling To challenge. For details: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
This first challenge is to create a card that tells about our style. Well, I don't think I have a style, but this card certainly tells about me - I really like challenges, especially the ones to case the work of a fellow stamper!! When I selected my card I did not immediately realize I had a 2-fer.
This card, by VDM FS290 Upsy Daisy 4 Mary by vdm at Splitcoaststampers
is for this one by jandjcc: Thanks for your Friendship by jandjccc at Splitcoaststampers
Congratulations to both featured stampers.
My card also features a technique I like a lot, but do not use all that frequently - sponging. On the other hand, the CAS style is pretty much the opposite of most of my cards!
My card uses a similar image and nearly identical layout. I changed the colors, type of butterfly, and the sentiment.

I love sponging too - it's one of the first things I learned but still a go-to technique. Thank you so much for playing in my challenge with this beautiful card!!
