Finally got a chance to check out the Featured Stamper Challenge for today and I was absolutely delighted to find out that Vicky Gould was our Featured Stamper! Vicky has such awesome talent and her gallery is just loaded with gorgeous cards! I have many in my favorites and I added many more today while browsing her huge gallery. It was hard to pick, but I finally selected this beautiful card to CASE: CC162, So sorry_vag by Vicky Gould at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the layout almost exactly the same, but changed:
-the colors
-used DP instead of a CB layer
-used different stamp sets (wish I had hers!)
-left off a sentiment
-added piercing
I loved the image of the bird on a branch that Vicky used. To try to get that look, I stamped and masked my bird then stamped the spray of flowers using Memento Rich Cocoa on Naturals Ivory CS. Colored the images with Copic markers. Added Itty Bitty Backgrounds like Vicky did, but instead of adding a sentiment, I just pierced the corners. Popped the main image panel up on foam tape. Added some ribbon and lace trim and that was it.
Thanks, Faith, for filling in and presenting Vicky as our FS today and Vicky, huge congratulations! I am in awe of your work and I appreciate the great inspiration you share!
