Great choice today for the featured stamper, Beth! I had a wonderful time perusing Lori's gallery for cards to case. In the end, I went with a sentimental favorite. As Lori rooted for keeping the paisley print background, she made several cards showcasing the stamp. My first B/S board purchase and upload to the gallery was this very stamp! It is a fabUlous paisley! And Feathered Hope was a gift from a friend just last birthday!
I used several of the same stamps, I kept the layout, but omitted the tabs, adding shadow stamping of the hollyhocks and the position of the word 'hope' and a bit of ribbon on the tag.
My card base is PTI spring moss. I inked the paisley print bg with Nick Bantock's Chartreuse leaf dye ink. The Dickinson quote is stamped with Memento tuxedo black. I stamped the Hollyhocks (Embossing Arts) with VersaMark and embossed with clear ep. The bird from SU's Natural Beauty was stamped directly to the tag with NB Van Dyke Brown. I added the 'HOPE' to a tiny tag, it is stamped on SU kiwi kiss. The tag is from Memory Box grove paper group. I used the SU scallop punch for the panel and line both edges with linen brown cs.
This card is going to a dear friend who has been battling chronic health issues. I actually made her a card with this same quote just about a year ago have a peek. It's interesting how different fonts play a role in how you design a card! This is the card inside.
Thanks for all your generous comments, I love reading each one! Be blessed!
