This is for today's Featured Stampers Challenge FS65. The stamper today is nutsymuhl. You can check out her fabulous gallery here: nutsymuhl's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers.
She has so many great cards, it was hard to pick just one! I chose this card: Faux Stitching is all I know by nutsymuhl at Splitcoaststampers.
I really love the layout. I didn't have the HPH that she used in the top corner, so I thought I would improvise and add a photo corner. BAD choice! I think it ruined the whole look of the card. But since I used Tombow Mono multi glue to adhere it, I knew there was no way I was going to get it off! I also messed up the sentiment. I originally just stamped the "thank you" directly onto the card front. But it was sooooo crooked, I had to cover it up. Plus, there is a smear of ink that bugs me, because I have no idea how it got there! All in all, not my best card, but it was fun browsing a great gallery and playing with my stamps!
Things I changed:
* Stamp Set
* DSP
* Color Combo
* Embellishments
Thanks for looking!
Happy Sunday!
