Our Featured Stamper today is, Charmaine, aka tweedcurtain. I chose this very pretty floral to case: Corner Flowers Birthday by tweedcurtain at Splitcoaststampers. I used a different flower, different colors and sentiment, but kept the same layout, but turned to vertical.
Spritzed a piece of white card stock, placed inside the EF, ran it thru my machine and then cut it to an A2 size. I tried coloring with alcohol markers, chalk, color pencil, watercolor - none worked. Finally masked and sponged with good results. Die cut the frame and assembled the pieces onto a white base. It occurred to me that I could use my slimline EF for A2 cards too. Luv to get as much use as possible from purchases.
The EF is Lisa Horton slimline 3D Coneflower Meadow.
I enjoyed perusing your lovely gallery, Charmaine, and hope you enjoy your week in the spotlight!

What a beauty and I adore that sentiment. Love your cornflowers and the sponging is great. Such soft, lovely colors. i have so much trouble coloring embossed images, now I'm going to try sponging instead because I love how this turned out. Wonderful card.

I love how these flowers look, Priscilla! Super pretty card, but that sentiment is evern better. Reminds me of the movie Sweet Home Alabama - there is a line like this or something similar. Hugz

Priscilla, thanks for visiting my gallery; I am glad to have inspired such a wonderful card. I'm also glad you persevered and found success with sponging to colour those beautiful blooms! Love the texture on this.
Priscilla, this is a great case of Charmaine's card. I adore your beautiful embossed flowers on the white background. Your touches of soft color are stunning. I LOVE THIS!
