A big congrats to Gem, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a beautiful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout, w/ the flowers & strips across the top, but I used stamped & watercolored flowers instead of die cut flowers, different colors & made my strips wider.
For my card, I stamped the florals onto 90# watercolor paper & used Brushos & water to paint my peonies. I like how vibrant the Brushos colors are & I used them like regular watercolors..mixed the powder in a palette w/ water & painted. The purple strips were die cut by cutting the purple once w/ a lg stitched rectangle die, then moving the bottom up to cut the strips. The flowers were cut using the matching die & the leaves were fussy cut.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & links: The Write Stuff

Gorgeous! Wow, your painting is beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration to try the Brushos painting. I like how you created the purple stripes. Very nicely done. Wonderful case.
Julie, the vibrant colors painting with Brushos crystal is amazing. The flowers and foliage pops perfectly with the purple strips and white background.
