This week's featured stamper is Paula Tracy. Wow, Paula's gallery is so awesome! I love her style! I chose this beauty to case: a mothers love by paulatracy at Splitcoaststampers
This is a get well card for my friend, Karen, who just started chemotherapy last week.
The image was stamped twice on watercolor paper, once on dp to paper piece the vase, and again on the main panel. The bouquet was first colored with a Blush marker, details highlighted with a Baroque Burgundy marker, then blended it all together with an aquapainter. Used crystal effects on the vase, and gel pen in the flower centers. Added faux stitching and a flower that was partly cut by hand, and the rest punched with Martha Stewart punches, the edges sponged with Burgundy. Thanks for looking! Congrats again to Paula!

You've done a fantastic job on your CASE. I love your colouring and paper piecing, especially the way you glossed up the vase. Your sponging and faux stitching just finishes it off so well.
