I have always been a fan of today's Featured Stamper, Lynn (a/k/a allee's) and was proud to serve on a DT with her several years ago. In looking through Lynn's gallery, I found this card to CASE, using the same layout (but rotated) and colors. I changed Lynn's hydrangeas to grapes; and, instead of white silk cord around the scallops, I embossed the beaded scallops in white. I stamped the leaves again, colored and cut them out, and then popped them up for a little more depth. Lynn's card was a QFTD card, and she always adds that little crown to the photos of her QFTD creations, so I added a little bottle of wine in the corner. I thought it balanced out the layout. My card is a sneak peek at a new MFPaHC stamp set called No Sour Grapes, which will be released on Tuesday.

Such a regal color combo with the gold and purple, Lois, the grapes are beautiful with the highlights - lovely sponging to hightlight the bg embossing too!
