For today's FS: Vickie Y. I had a hard time choosing just one card to case, Vickie, so I might just be back for another soon! Loved strolling through your delightful gallery. Here is the lovely card I chose! I just Adore this stamp set, so I used the same one and made a collage with each of the stamps. For the script & postage stamps, I stamped off once before stamping. I used 3 shades of green and sponged the edges of the top-note and embossed panel with artichoke. The flower and top-note panels are popped up. I used my bone folder to create the curly ends of the twine. Thanks for stopping in today! Enjoy your royal week, Vickie! ~Roberta
For the Dare to get Dirty Special Event challenge: I had to take the wrapper off my blackberry ribbon to use it for the first time, and I've had it over a year!

I sure do like this; it uses one of my favorite leaf stamp sets, the wonderful Top Note die cut and one of my very favorite embossing folders. Love the look of your dotted flower and the curly tails on your twine bow.

Usually think of these leaf images as "fall", but you have shown they can equally be a lovely representing spring/summer, Roberta. Pretty colors with your soft green shading....on the image panel as well as the embossed back panel.

Gorgeous! Love the collage stamping and the top note die-cut. The embossed background adds nice texture. The blackberry against the subtle green really pops. Love the polka-dots and twirled twine. Lovely case of Vickie's nice card. Great job! TFS

I never get tired of that french foliage set, Roberta, and you have used it beautifully! Love the soft sponging on the embossed bg, and that curly twine, too!

Oh, you chose such beautiful colors to honor Vickie's card!! Love the stamped foliage, gorgeous flower, and embossing. I'm so happy to see someone use that lovely Bigz Top Note! I came close to using mine yesterday!! You've inspired me!
