This is for Judy's Featured Stamper Challenge honoring LeAnn aka n2scrappin. She has an amazing gallery and stages her card photos so beautifully. This card was one of many that grabbed my eye:
I used my new stamp set that just arrived yesterday with my Misti. First I stamped the image in Pear Pizzazz and then cleaned it off while it was still on the Misti. Then I used my Rich Razzleberry marker to color just the flowering tips and stamped it again. The darker Razzleberry covered the Pear for a touch of color. I liked LeAnn's twine & bow; instead I stamped the amazing dimensional sheer bow using my Misti. I have seen a lot of card-makers cut out this bow, but I do not particularly like to fussy cut, and I think it looks beautiful stamped directly on the panel. I added the sentiment at the bottom of the image as did LeAnn although mine is much smaller. I matted the image panel as she did. I did eliminate the longer rectangle to help keep my card under one ounce for mailing. I loved how LeAnn used the woodgrain for the background. I wanted to use the new specialty paper that arrived with the stamp set; and wow, it is gorgeous with the shimmer. Thank you LeAnn for inspiring my card & motivating me to use my new supplies; and thank you for sharing your lovely cards with us! TFL

I love this, Diane. This is my new favorite stamp set and I love the way you've stamped the tips of the foliage ~ I think I like this look better than using the little flowers stamp in the set. I agree with you about that gorgeous bow image; I like it stamped right onto the bouquet. The dsp behind the main panel is so beautiful. Straight into my faves : )

Wow, this is for sure an eye catcher! I love how your DP matches the focal point image without distracting, the perfect accent for a simple but very elegant card, I love it! Thank you so much for taking a look at my gallery and for participating in this weeks challenge, I'm truly honored.

So pretty with that frosted floral background paper. I love the looks of that set and that paper that you have brought together to make a gorgeous card!
