todays featured stamper is Christy S. ~ what an amazing fun gallery to play in today! Christy's card
I kept her sketch idea to use a background stamp with your image square in the center of the card.
I added punched corners, changed the colors, and added a flower with leaves and a touch of ribbon across the bottom.
coloring is gamsol/ prisma pencils, shade the edges with adirondack mushroom, stamp delight in life swirl around the edges and distress the panel around the rooster.
I made my own flower center with glossy black cardstock dotted with acrylic paint using a stylist or the end of a paint brush.. it gives the look of those expensive large polkadot brads, and fun to make, you can then punch out what every size you want whenever you need a great center.
thanks for stopping by~it makes my day!
