Happy News ...

Today I was picked for the Featured Stamper at SCS (FS282).  I am so thrilled!!  Thank you to Judy (StampingQueenJAR) for choosing me.  And thank you so much to everyone that has joined in the challenge by CASE'ing one of my cards ... I am so honored!!

Today I'm joining in on the CAS Challenge (CAS177) as an Alumni Spotlight Guest Designer - thank you Jen (Miss Boo) for inviting me!!  Today's CAS challenge is a color challenge - navy, old olive and white.  What a fabulous color combination.  Hope you like this CAS card.

"Madera Stamp"


Stamp:  For You (Rubber-Art Stamps)
Paper:  White (C.C. Designs); White (Bazzill - texture for the flowers); Old Olive, Night of Navy (SU!)
Ink:  Versamark
Accessories & Tools:  Big Shot, Madera Corner die (Memory Box), Postage Stamp Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Hydrangea punch (Martha Stewart), mat, stylus, green glitter glue, white embossing powder, heat tool, glue dots, glue, and dimensionals



I die-cut the medium-sized postage stamp three times (two white and one navy) and glued them together with the navy layer on top.  This adds to the depth of the die-cut, making it stand out more.

I die-cut the madera corner from Old Olive cardstock.  I added green glitter to all the "dots" on the die (not the leaves).

I punched out several of the Hydrangea blossoms.  I shaped them using my mat and stylus and then added green glitter centers.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark, and then embossed in white.

I mounted all the layers as shown in the photo above, popping up the postage stamp panel with dimensionals to add depth.

    Wow! Your card is beautiful! Love the boldness of the blue on white! I will have to try layering to give more dimensions as you did for the postage stamp base. Your cards are always the best!
