Congratulations to Maggie Schoener aka mschoener as our Featured Stamper this week, FS802. I found many much-loved colors, stamp sets and 3D projects in her wonderful gallery, quickly pinned 39 then narrowed these down to a Top 3.
I mentally flipped the card to landscape and went digging for appropriate colors and DSP. It was amazing how certain memories came back. I remembered to mark the junction on the back sides of the chipboard flower AND the crumpled card stock before tracing and cutting the stamped piece. I recalled that I should use a slightly damp foam brush to apply the white glue (and strong tape for assembly, to handle the weight).
I could NOT remember where I hid my paper file, so used my fingernails to distress and wrap the paper edges behind the chipboard. I paid homage to her stripes with ribbon, since I found only polka dots with the desired color way. I decided to omit the leaves.
It was fun using some of the new In-Colors to mimic the old brights I so loved in Maggies gallery.

Both cards -- the inspiration card and yours -- are so happy, bright and fun. So glad you got to revisit some of your old favs and you created a delight in doing so. I'm ready for the cake now! Great card.
