Here is my card for today's Featured Stamper challenge honoring Shirley. I chose this card from her gallery to case: FS237 Razzleberry Sympathy, saq by wannabcre8tive at Splitcoaststampers
I needed a sympathy card and the razzleberry of her card, especially in that gorgeous ribbon, really popped.
I kept the card a sympathy card and kept a similar layout. I changed the image shape to a circle and a flower from There She Goes Flowers of Happiness. I colored the petals with copics and stamped small flowers on the two cardstock colors and added them to the image panel. I did not have a wide grosgrain like Shirley (wish list!!) so I used a satin ribbon instead, putting it horizontal instead. My sentiment did not fit into my image panel so I added an extra element to my card. The background is embossed with birds and vines.
TFL!

Oh pretty! Love how you colored your flowers. I'm going to have to go and cruise Shirley's gallery again because you're so far the 2nd person who's mentioned that Razzleberry card.
