It's my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS632)this week! A big congrats to Liz, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a fun gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept most of the layout w/ the wide white frame, but I used different images & colors & made mine a sympathy card.
For my CAS sympathy card, I found a piece of paper I hand marbled ages ago. It was in oranges & pinks w/ a dk blue vein running thru it & I copied it onto a piece of neon pink paper. I stamped the birds on the branch directly onto this using very dark navy ink. I used a white gel pen to add highlights then added a white frame & a navy diamond cut frame.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & product links are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Marbled paper is one of my favorite things. I think it comes from my Grandpa's book collection. Leather bound, most of them had a marbled paper in the front and back. I liked that card too and yours is beautiful. Love the white highlights, makes a huge difference.

What a stunning sympathy card this is Julie. I really love your stitched, offset panels and how the white contrasts so nicely with the gorgeous marbled bg panel, the dark blue stamped images and the really unique diamond cut frame. I love this so much I am putting it into my favs. ~Karen.
