Congrats to Sandy, the newest Featured Stamper! What a lovely gallery she has. I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout but flipped it and used different images and different colors.
After coloring the lilacs, I traced a frame around them and did what I call a “cutaway” technique by cutting out the background inside the frame. I placed a plum heather piece of card stock behind the image before attaching it to the dp. A pale pink heather card stock I had just happened to match the dp, so I stamped the flower using the Distress ink. After die cutting partial shapes, I attached it all to the dp along with some layered a stacked pair of die cut borders across the bottom.
Congrats again, Sandy, enjoy your week! Thanks so much for looking! My blog: The Write Stuff

Lilacs are one of my most favorite spring blooms. Reminds me of my childhood. Such a beautiful card, Julie, as always.
