Thank You!!!!



This card is for today's feature stamper challenge (FS119) at SCS!!! Congratulations, Joan!!! When I read it was you, I thought...what?!?!? I thought Joan had already been a feature stamper!!! Joan has a wonderful gallery and I had a tough time choosing. Here is the card I chose. I am alittle late getting this in, but I had a big craftroom cleaning day. It was either clean it or call enviromental services!! It was really piling up!!! It looks a lot better now, though. Still not picture worthy, yet!!!
I am using Flourishes Damask background for the top background piece, Birds and Vine for the center panel and cut out bird detailing, and Many Sentiments for the sentiment.
I changed the stamp choices, the embellishment choices, and the ribbon detailing. I created all the background papers using stamps.
For the top panel, I used Flourishes Damask background in Paletter Noir. I also sponged this panel with Ranger antique linen. For the bottom panel, I stamped the striped background with CHF fine lines backgrounder. I used Palette dark chocolate ink to stamp the CHF spanish script backgrounder. I sponged the edges with Ranger antique linen.
I stamped the main image and sentiment oval in Paletter Noir, cut out and embossed with the nestabilities, then sponged the edges with the antique linen. I went lighter on the sponging of the edges.
For my ribbon treatment, I punched the fleur de lis border punch from EK Success back to back on a strip of cardstock. I layered with a piece of velvet ribbon. I create a bowtie look with black satin.
I stamped one of the birds in the Birds and Vine set. I cut it out and finished the white edges with a permanent marker. I added a tiny gold pearl for the eye and popped him up next to the sentiment instead of the flowers that Joan used. I finished my card with a pop of some gold dome pearls in all of the corners.
