Wow...what a Featured Stamper we have today...congratulations to Tricia (T.Joy)! So glad I was able to play along! I have not been through your gallery before, but considering my new found love for all things Flourishes, I had alot of beautiful material to choose from! I didn't have to go far to see a card that I wanted to CASE. Here is Tricia's card: Deeply Grateful by T. Joy at Splitcoaststampers I did keep the image the same and keep it in the center of the card, but I added ALOT of fluff. I can't tell you how long I struggled with this...you should know, I don't do fluff well, by that I mean lots of added doo dads. When I try to do that, it looks like a big ol' mess. Anyway, I had some old Cuttlebug dies that I used to make my own leaves. I inked and distressed and die cut and at one point almost gave up, but finally I finished! Whew, I definitely admire all of you that seem to do that so effortlessly and beautifully! Tricia, congratulations again. Your gallery is spectacular and you are certainly deserving of this great honor! Hope you have a wonderful afternoon!

OMG....this does not look like a card made by a person who has trouble with fluff.....lol!! It is positively stunning. I love the way you turned your bow upside down to blend perfectly into your awesome leaves. Love your colours and your colouring too! What a beautiful card!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Well I never thought "Fluff" could look so elegant. Those leaves really are gorgeous in that color. The brown frame just adds that pop. Beautifully done. tfs

You fluff very well!! This card is gorgeous. The image is so beautifully colored and framed, but the leaves are what stand out to me the most! I love them added to the side and distressed.

Katie girl this is amazing! Great mind's think alike too cause I just dug that same set of leaf dies (unopened) out of my die box and used it on my card for Mo's this week. LOL This is drool worthy. It's classy beauty GF! Hugs!
Katie, this is a stunning card. The embossed background and floral border are so beautiful with the image and the leaves are just over the top. Beautiful work and so creative and artistic.

Oh yeah girlfriend that is one big ole mess of fluff - LOL - are ya kidding? Those embellishments are just 'perfect', I really love those leaves. The coloring on your image is beautiful, love the fall color of the leaves - and of course you used that fab floral oval die, yum!!! What I want to know is: were there any Copics flying around as you did this, some say throwing Copics can help, I have yet to try this method, tee hee.
