Today is an auspicious occasion another SCS stamper. Kittie chose a stamper who has a gallery filled with all things beautiful. Congratulations, Vickie Y !!
CHANGED:
1. Changed the single circle into 3 layers.
2. Added a spellbinders humungous die (and it is huge. I don't know what I was thinking when I purchased this.
3. Used G45 paper rather than EF.
Vickie, I hope you can recognize this without referring back to your gallery. I really tried to stay on target but sometimes I am easily distracted.
Congratulations, Vickie. Enjoy your week as this week's Featured Stamper.

I love your version of the card you cased, beautiful, Anne! Neat texture using several layers of the musical paper under the bird. Those glittering leaves--wow, nice!!! That bird is so beautifully colored!!! I am terrible at putting different patterned papers together, you did it beautifully. Love that sentiment. Someone is going to be thrilled to receive this when it's time to mail out Christmas cards... Beautiful!!!
Blessings, and thank you for showing such kindness and support to me whenever you see one of my cards--which I know is not often enough...hoping that is going to change!!!
Your kindness is so evident whenever I read one of your comments on another card, you allow His love to shine, and what is better than this!!!

Very special holiday card, Anne. Your Cardinal is colored beautifully and I like the designer papers you combined. The plaid ribbon and that pretty die cut frame complete this card so nicely!

Gorgeous card and it honors Vickie's original one. Love the bird on the layered circle. It's interesting how you cut it apart; I would not have thought to do that. Looks great! Love the sparkle, the beautiful papers and die-cuts. Awesome card. I agree with Joanne that you leave wonderful, encouraging and thoughtful comments for other's cards. Thank you for doing that! Also, thank you for sharing your amazing cards with us.

Your ability to work outside the box is just amazing, Anne! Love your work with designer papers, dies and embellishments, all things I struggle with. This is such a beautiful take on her card and a wonderful way to honor her. Love it!

You just keep "knocking" out these fabulous cards girl!! This one holds a special spot in my heart as my late MIL LOVED cardinals. Every time I hear or see one now, it reminds me of her dear soul!! Your papers you used are also fabulous! :-)

Lovely vintage style bg on your pretty Christmas card with the bright red cardinal. Good to see someone is getting a head start on their holiday cards. ; )
