Congrats to Joyce (ashjoy), our newest Featured Stamper! She has such a fun gallery and I chose THIS card to case. I kept the flower theme and layout but I used different images, different colors and put a sentiment flag in place of the ribbon.
I used this beautiful Zinnia image, stamped it on white, then did an out of the box Nestie technique and colored it with Copics. An extra butterfly and large zinnia were also colored and fussy cut. Now I'm fairly sure my "butterfly" could be a moth in disguise, but I'm going with it. The greeting was stamped on the gold card stock and I added a gold shadow w/ a Copic marker on one side and used a white gel pen highlight on the other side of the letters before die cutting it. Before I attached the extra Zinnia on top of the base image, I cut and lifted a few of the petals.
Congrats again, Joyce & enjoy your week! All the details are on my blog: The Write Stuff
