I have mentioned before that I am a middle aged ( I haven't decided if 57 is still middle aged, or just plain old) boring dental hygienist. I wear mostly grey and black, and rarely drive over the speed limit. My cards must be the the incarnation of some alter ego that pops up at 2am when Dolly the insomniac dog decides that sleeping is a waste of time. This is a little weirder than usual....my brain is a little fried after 2 harrowing encounters with rats in my garage. A few weeks ago while sorting some stamps that I am selling for my sister, I found this flower shadow stamp. I have never used shadow stamps and decided to try this set. It looked awful, so I added doodles to the flower and drew the stems and leaves. I made 2 sets and used the first set on a color challenge card a few weeks ago. I had sponged distress inks on a canvas a few weeks ago, so I sponged more ink on the newspaper, tore it and glued it down. Then I stamped checks and splatters, glued more newspaper over parts that I didn't like, added white paint, and repeated that process a few times until it looked OK. Then I tore the big doodled flowers out and glued them down. The little flowers were punched from the sponged newspaper, covered with glossy accents, shaped and glued down. There are so many covered over mistakes that I finally just had to stop before it took a fork lift to pick it up. I hope to see your creations in the F4A292 gallery. TFL, Francie

Ok, wow and more wow! I KNOW I viewed your card when you posted it and my only excuse for not commenting is that I must have been blown away (far, far, away)! I am so impressed by the techniques and materials you use on your fabulous creations. I have to say I love the personality that shines through in your comments as well. I love seeing your work. TFS
