I was shocked this morning when I went to visit
Splitcoaststampers and I had a message from the talented
Julie Warner indicating that I had been chosen for this week's "
Featured Stamper Challenge"! What a shock... and an honour! I can't wait to check out the gallery all week to see what everyone has created by CASing my gallery there.
So today I thought I'd share a super fun card I created this week. I bought the new Bo Bunny "
Snow Day" Collection filled with
teal,
grass green and rich dark
purples... so pretty!
The Spirit of Love
To create my card I first cut the Spellbinder's "
Labels 14" shape out of
Flourishes Classic Ivory Cardstock and stamped my image from the retired stamp set, "A Gift For You" onto my cardstock. I used my all time favourite
Memento "
Black Tuxedo" ink. I then inked the edges of my cardstock, while still inside the die, with Ranger's "
Old Paper" Distress Ink. I then coloured my image using a variety of colour coordinating Copic markers from the
Flourishes Copic Collections.
I decorated the top of my die cut image using some of the
Flourishes NEW "
Color Made Easy" seam binding called "
Delft Blue" from the
True Blue collection. I added a fun gem to finish off the bow.
I also used the fabulous
NEW "
Color Made Easy" Cardstock Collection for my card base. I used the darkest blue form the "
True Blue" cardstock collection. These packs of cardstock are wonderful and coordinate so well with their fabulous seam binding! Yum!
Thanks for stopping by today! Don't forget to stop by on Tuesday for a new
Timeless Tuesday Challenge at
Flourishes and I also have a creative surprise being revealed on December 1st!
Stay tuned...
