I changed the background because I don't have any tree stamps, so I went with the stripes to simulate a forest and sponged chocolate chip around the edges of the DP to distress a little. I also used a different stamp set and a different sentiment. I wish I had a leaf punch to add some leaves because I really love that part of Michelle's card!
I was going to CASE the very first card of Michelle's that I saw that kept me returning to her gallery, but it was actually a sketch challenge card, so I discarded that idea. Then I found the owl one, and thought it would be a perfect chance to use my new Carolyn King stamps. Michelle has this incredible knack for heat embossing that really puts a WOW in her cards. I know because this card is on my shelf... BoHo Buzz Toile Blossoms by Zindorf at Splitcoaststampers. So I tried to CASE that feature of her cards, too by embossing my night sky after sponging watercolor cardstock with Not Quite Navy. Then I adhered the moon, sponged some gray on it for clouds, stamped the branches and heat embossed. Then Versamark'd the whole thing and heat embossed again. I did not do her justice at all, but I tried.
Congratulations Michelle! One of these days I'm gonna' drive over from this side of Ohio and dump some mud on you... maybe that'll speed up the process of making you a Dirty Girl!
