A big congrats to Kathy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS782)! She has a really big, wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the floral theme & lattice, but I used different images & dies, & also made mine a mini slimline.
For my thank you card, I knew I wanted to an area to stamp my greeting w/o having to add another panel, so I cut the bottom section by only partially covering the die w/ the top plate, cutting that far, then moving the plate to the top section & repeating this process. I used a craft knife to finish any partially cut strips above & below the solid band. I added 2 pieces of cardboard, die cut w/ the same die, underneath the lattice panel to elevate it a bit. On the panel underneath, I stamped the wildflowers in different colors of ink & also stamped a couple extra ones on a separate piece & fussy cut them. I sponged some yellow inks coming in from the upper left. After I attached the lattice, I inserted the 2 fussy cut branches in & out of the lattice, stamped the greeting & added some gems.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & links: The Write Stuff

Julie, this is just a breath of spring! I love the diagonal lattice you created and the sun peeking out of the top! The garden of wildflowers is beautiful, with some of them on dimension!

Julie, you did such a fabulous job with this case. I love the bright colors, the super cool die cut, and the pretty folliage down at the bottom. Makes me want to go do another card. Hope you are staying warm! Hugz

This is so pretty! I love that lattice die cut and the lovely shades of blue and green for the flowers and foliage. The yellow makes me think of the sun coming in from the left.

It's wonderful having those sweet flowers peeking through the lattice frame! Your ombre sponging at the top reminds me of sunlight filtering through a window!
