A big congrats to Francie, the newest Featured Stamper! My goodness, what a COLORFUL gallery she has! It was so hard to pick, but the colors on THIS card really spoke to me. I kept the fabulous purple colors & flowers, but I used different images, a little bit different layout and made mine a birthday card.
I had a small melted crayon background with these wonderful pinky/purple colors and it reminded me of Francie's beautiful purple hydrangea card, so I die cut a frame to go around it & attached it behind the opening. For the flowers, I sponged the colors from the Kpad, die cut them then decided they needed a white border so I trimmed them a little closer & die cut another solid white version & attached the trimmed version on top.
A die cut Happy was attached on top of the melted crayon bg, the flowers & leaves attached & some sequins for a little sparkle.
Congrats again, Francie! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Oh what fun to be the featured stamper, and to start off with a gorgeous card by one of my favorite artists... you. Your crayon bg is amazing. It reminds me of a lava lamp from the 60's. The hydrangias are beautiful, and I love the look of the big die cut "happy" with the smaller stamped "birthday". I may be borrowing that idea soon.
Into this weeks favs.

Oh, Julie, what a great CASE of Francie's card! The background with the melted crayon is AMAZING! I keep looking at it - wow! It has such depth and seems holographic - definitely intrigued by that and will check out your blog! I love your layout and the beautiful flowers. A stunning card! (And I an envious of your hydrangeas - the only thing I miss about living in New Jersey!) Hugs, sweet friend!
