Congrats to Mary, the newest Featured Stamper! She has lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the Friend & flower theme & layout, but I used different colors, die cuts instead of stamps & a circle opening instead of an oval.
The colors on my flowers came about when I was refilling some Copics the other day. I noticed the inside of some of the caps were a total mess so I poured a little 91% isopropyl alcohol into them & thought it was a shame to waste all that color. So I poured it out onto a white piece of card stock. I liked the way it looked so I used it for the flowers & greeting. The lg circle burst was die cut into the white & a turquoise layer put behind. Then all I had to do was arrange the flowers, add a few sequins & some Copic tinted crystals. I will mention in case any of you have trouble (like I do) getting the letters straightÂ…I left the letters in the die, added tiny dots of glue to the backsides, then turned the die over onto the c/s & pressed thru the die holes to release. Worked like a charm!
Congrats again, Mary! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Love the dies - all of them! They add so much to this, but your colors really steal the show. Super beautiful case, Julie. You always amaze me with your gorgeous layouts and ideas! Hugz

What a great case...very pretty! That's so funny how you didn't want to waste a bit of your leftovers from reinking your copics..lol..we stampers sure are resourceful.

Beautiful case of your inspiration card - and what a great use for the dregs of color that had collected in your copic caps - turned into marvelously marbled die cuts.
