Zindorf is today's featured stamper. I pm'ed Michelle back in early July to see if she wanted to be FS and she agreed to play along. Weeks went by and she honestly thought that I made a mistake and she misunderstood my original PM. Take a look at this AMAZING GALLERY! No mistake there! It is bomb-a-licious (as Cami would say). I had SUCH a tough time picking a card. I literally started 2 cards (the first time in FS history) and decided to go with one over the other). I will finish up the other card and post it later in the week! Michelle - thank you for being patient! I am in awe of your beautiful gallery and I think that the challenge chasers will love perusing your gallery this week. I cannot keep her waiting any longer!!!
Based on Michelle's card: Baroque Motifs Wreath
For all the FS32 gallery submissions, check here HOW DO I PLAY:
Go to her gallery and CASE a card, following these simple guidelines:
CASEing Guidelines
1. Change 2 or more things on the card. It could be a color combo, embellishements, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different but similar because you don't own the exact image. List the changes in your description.
2. Give credit to the original stamper. Put a link to the original card in your description.
3. Fan Club members may upload today (Sunday). Non-Fan Club members are encouraged to play....please wait until Monday to upload your creations. Thanks!
4. Please note thefollowing regarding Sketch Challenge cards: If you are keeping the same layout but changing most everything else on the featured stamper's card, make sure it isn't a sketch challenge card (SC##). The reason is because it is essentially is a CASE of the sketch since it isn't the featured stamper's original idea. Thanks!
Uploading directions
1. Keyword FS32
2. Details section of your card: Describe the changes you have made, give credit to the featured stampers, and link her card. Please don't forget to add a recipe!
If you are new to challenges, please feel free to this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and get us stamping!

Oh, I love Michelle's gallery too! I don't know if I can play today, but I will certainly play this one sometime soon. She is an amazingly talented stamper. Thank you for this challenge. Congrats Michelle!
Wow - I was almost first...I went to her gallery and it is amazing! I had a hard time finding a card to case...what beautiful work. I will work on it soon! Thanks Beth and of course to Michelle for your inspiring art!
Wow. I've been admiring Michelle's beautiful, unique style for months now and am thrilled she was selected as featured stamper for this week. I'll have to case her after I get home from church. It will be difficult to select a card and difficult to make anything that compares to the beauty she attains in her cards.

OOO! Michelle is fabulous! Only...golly, I don't think I can case her and do any justice at all! I just recieved a card from her a couple days ago and it always takes my breath away.
Congrats Michelle!! Excellent choice Beth!
WoW! WoW! WoW! I have seen some of her work in challenges, but have never been to her gallery. WOW! (have I mentioned that, WOW!). I have been looking at my creations lately and just last night I thought "too much white". I told myself that I needed to get out of this habit, leaving too much white on my cards. So I was totally thrilled when I went to Zindorf's gallery. That was the first thing I noticed on her cards, hardly any white CS showing. So, my wheels are turning, the brayer is out and ready, and I will be whipping something up soon. I know it will in no way be what her cards are, but I am thrilled to be trying! Thanks for this awesome spotlight!
I've long admired Zindorf's artistic ability on her cards - her gallery is just super - can't wait to pick one out later today - it will be tough to come close to her quality on a card!!
I am so excited to see Michelle as the FS!! I love her work -- they are like paintings and works of art to me! I know I will have a hard time deciding!! GREAT choice, Beth!!! CONGRATS, Zinny!!!
Congrats, Michelle..........I have a feeling this is the first of many honors you'll receive for your talented creations..........I only have to go to my favs to view half your gallery......lol...........awesome
I think I was probaby one of the first to submit Michelle's name - she is fantastic - sure to hit the dirt pile one day soon! I absolutely am among her top ten fans - Congrats, Michelle - love your cards - always beautiful!!! Yea, permission to play in Zindorf's gallery!

I hurried
and got one done this morning. This is a 4" trifold for my dh. He writes a poem to our daughter as her birthday gift from him each year. He wanted something in shades of violet. What better than Vintage Violet?
Michelle's gallery is so awesome, but so many of her creations are way above my abilities, so I chose a fairly simple one. I hope you like it.

Congrats to Zindorf (Michelle) for being today's FEATURED STAMPER challenge choice. Your talent is amazing, Michelle. It might take me all day just to choose one card! I am in awe of your artistry - there's no way I can even come close! Especially love your brayered backgrounds and your moon and sun scenes!!! And you seem definitely connected to nature! Love all your trees, bees, birds, buterflies AND roosters TOO!!!

Thank you so much for recognizing what an amazing talent Michelle has! I have been fortunate enough to receive one of her cards! Will definitely play later today! Congrats Michelle!

I had to make two crimped sections because I misjudged where the paper was in the crimper the first time! It was too high up and the card wasn't balanced.
Congratulations, Michelle -- you are definitely one of my very favorite stampers, and I can't wait to CASE you today! I can even remember the first Zindorf card I ever saw (with Three Trees and one of the Farm Fresh signs made to look like a billboard... see?! Made a big impact, obviously!)! Every Zindorf card is a true work of art, and in American Idol parlance, you make every stamp "your own." Bravo, Beth, on an awesome choice!!
I only live an hour away from Michelle and have yet to met this amazing lady. If I did, do you think her talent would rub off? Love, love your work, Michelle, you know that. Have cased you before and can't wait to case you again!
Michelle, your gallery is truly amazing. Don't know if I will get to play--don't think I could choose one I could do justice to-- but will keep watch on the others. Some great cards already submitted. Congrats and keep your great cards coming!!
Woohoo, this is the best day ever! Thank you so much Beth. I'm floored by all the wonderful creations everyone is coming up with. Thank you so much for everyone's encouragement. The Challenge hosts and the Challenge Chasers here on SCS's are the greatest, hands down. Thanks again everyone!
Yeah Michelle! You KNOW i adore your work--every card is a work of art. Geeze, Beth--can ya make it any more difficult??? heeheee.
I will hopefully get to play along with this one---but I apologize in advance, Michelle, if I butcher your card! I have no where near the artistic ability!
