What a wonderful gallery Vera has!!! I chose Vera's Vases in Vogue to CASE for a birthday card for my DIL.
Last week I spent a perfectly delightful afternoon in Fort Lauderdale having lunch and shopping with two SCSers, cherylquilts and BeckyTE. One of my purchases was this wonderful Lockhart stamp and I couldn't wait to ink it up. Used watercolour paper, an aqua-painter and SU watercolour crayons. Added a little sponging to highlight the image.
Things I changed:
- instead of the partial mat and faux stitching, I used a full mat behind the image
- used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the background panel instead of designer paper
- added a layer to the sentiment panel
Thanks for looking! And thanks to Vera for the inspiration...

Heather, what a beautiful card. I am so jealous of you getting to meet these wonderful stampers. And, besides, you were in that warm weather. Am I green with envy? Yes!!!!! Did you notice anything on Pam124's comment..toward the bottom? Too funny! Your DIL is sure to love this awesome creation, as well as Vera.
