A big congrats to Hideko, aka PapercraftBoutique, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a really sweet gallery & I chose THIS to case. I liked the colors & the pieced strip bg so I kept that but I used different images, different dies & turned my horizontal.
To make my roller coaster card, after stamping & coloring the image, I used a double stitched die & my into the window technique. All of the strips in the background were die cut w/ one of the smaller sizes of the stitched long & skinny mats, then I arranged them & used scotch tape on the back to hold them together. I used a curved stitched die that closely followed the greeting curve, to cut the bottom of the strips then I attached them to the card front. I attached a bunch of leftover pieces & strips to the back side of the framed image to give it a little lift. Some sequins were added for a little sparkle.
Congrats again, Hideko! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Dear Julie
Thank you so much for choosing me a featured stamper. I'm very honored and happily surprised! I love your stunning and fun card! Your coloring is bright and beautiful. The color scheme is uplifting - perfect for spring! I love your "into the window" technique, and I'll try that myself sometime soon. Thanks again!! Hideko @Papercraft Boutique

Everything about this card is fun from the colors to the wavy greeting that follows the lines of the die cut bg to the beautifully colored rollercoater image. Wonderful case of Hideko's card.
