Our family is still recovering from being sick with that darn flu. We have that nagging cough that just will not go away. Anyhow, I wanted to play in the FS Challenge tonight, but it had to be a fairly easy card to case. I have no energy whatsoever! Hoping that all changes next week when my mom comes to visit. Thanks for all your prayers for my family...it really means alot!
We are to case a card for the Featured Stamper and we are to change at 3 things on our card. The FS tonight is Clownmom. What a gallery! I saved a few to my favorites, but settled on this one: Looks Like Spring with Stripes by Clownmom at Splitcoaststampers.
Here is my story:
I picked up this stamp at the Dollar Tree awhile ago just because I had to have it. I love flip flops! But I am not suppose to wear them..no support for my ankles. I adhered DP and distress the edges to the base of the card. I stamped the flip flops onto watercolor paper with Black Stazon. I matted it onto orange and teal c/s. I colored with my blender pen using coordinating inks. I used my 2-way glue and glitter to add sparkle to the straps on the shoes. I had to use my Sizzix window frame twice to get the cut right for my saying so it would match up. I found a Michaels $1 clear stamp that fit perfect in it. I added some glitter for the tiny flower too. I also added 2 brads. I had some misc ribbon that I just kept from awhile ago and thought it went perfect with this card. What do you think? I know summer is over, but I am still wearing flip flops! How about you? Thanks for the early post and thanks for dropping by!

Sorry you're not feeling well. I'm honored that you would still make a FS card under the circumstances. My daughter would love your card. She's a big fan of flip-flops! Such a fun card. Thanks for playing.
