A big congrats to Karen, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery & I was very taken w/ THIS card...the colors, the layout..I just love it. Which is a little strange, because every time I try to use this blackberry or razzleberry color, I get into trouble. For me, they are very hard colors to work with. Anyway, I kept the colors & layout, but used different images & dies & made mine a birthday card.
After I white embossed the flowers & leaves onto white c/s, I sponged on the Distress inks in the purples & blues then die cut the flowers w/ the matching dies. I didn't have paper anywhere near this purply color so I also sponged the wider strip down the side, then stamped the leaves w/ Versamark. I had to sponge the Wishing word to match, too. The white linen bg was sponged w/ the tumbled glass & the rest of the greeting was stamped w/ the Versafine purple ink. I came across a large bottle of dew drops (remember those?) so I added a few.
Congrats again, Karen! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog:The Write Stuff

How gorgeous Julie! I love all the colors peeking through these white embossed blooms. I am so impressed by these dew drops because I have never been able to make them look this great! The purple sentiment die and sentiment really ties the entire design together so beautifully. You have made these colors sing with this gorgeous card! ~Karen.
