Today's Featured Stamper, Jacque Williams (aka jeddibamps) is a Platinum level SU Demonstrator and I think her Gallery is a Platinum level gallery. It is filled with beautiful and inspiring cards. My card was really inspired by two different cards, but this is the one I mainly CASED: Create a Quick, Beautiful Sympathy Card by jeddibamps at Splitcoaststampers
I changed my card to a birthday theme, although I think you could use this sentiment for other occasions too. Instead of a silhouette stamp, I heat embossed the floral image. Initially I ink blended with Aquatation but it was too light to show off the embossing. I went back over the images with the darker ink and then used the lighter ink again on the edges to blend it out. I really loved the brick BG that Jacque used, but wanted to change mine up. I found this woodgrain bg already stamped in my stash (I think it's Hickory Smoked DOX, but I'm not sure). I angled the panels like Jacque and added a small bow in the corner,
Congratulations Jacque you have a marvelous Gallery. I have fav'd several so I can go back and CASE some others later. I hope you enjoy the week and all the cards you have inspired. And, I hope everyone has a week filled with Good Times, Good Friends (even if it's at a distance); and Good Laughs. TFL

Beautiful use of inks and images here, Debbie. I want to case this card too as it is so pretty - yours and Jacque's. Lovely words too. A very pretty and very fun friend card/case. Hugz

What a lovely floral image and your soft and subtle ink blending sets it off beautifully!

Stunning! From the teal tones to gorgeous heat embossed flower, off set design with bow on wood grain paper makes for a fabulous card.
