A big congrats to Lisa, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery and after much browsing, I kept coming back to THIS card. I didnÂ’t realize it was her case of another card until IÂ’d already finishedÂ…oh well! I really loved the big flower on the side so I kept that & the layout, but I didnÂ’t have a die like she had so I used a stamp for my flower, different embossing & die cut shape for the white panel.
Since I didnÂ’t have the wonderful daisy die Lisa used, I pulled out a really old stamp set w/ these big half flowers on them & stamped them on top of a background I made by smooshing the Distress inks onto an acrylic block, spritzing w/ water & pressing onto water color paper. I cut out 3 of the flowers & 3 leaves plus 1 little half flower. The white bg was die cut & embossed before attaching to a black square. I stamped the greeting around the corner & added some of the little dots image around the corner and also inside the background.
Congrats again, Lisa! Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

What a gorgeous flower! The background you stamped on gives it an fabric appearance. I really like the dotted half frame you made for your sentiment to nestle in. Great card and wonderful tribute to Lisa! TFS

Awesome card Julie - we picked the same card, as have others, and all are different - such fun. I have this very old stamp set, it never crossed my mind to use it for this, but I certainly love what you have done. tfs
