Welcome back Beth! The Featured Stamper today is a new gallery to me. I had fun choosing a card to case her CAS style. Lately I've been drawn to this type of stamping...and criminalgrace has many interesting cards to choose from. I loved her coffee cards and the chair cards, but it was this flamingo I couldn't resist. What magnificant fowl, check this out!
For the FS, I kept the focal bird, and the layout. My image is from Rubber Stamps of America. I also rotated my card and changed the sentiment (American Art Stamps). My wading water is a piece of Basic Grey Mistletoe and Pear aqua paper. I stamped the sentiment with Tim Holtz DI Spiced Marmalade. The glorious wading bird is inked with TH DI Brushed Corduroy and embossed with clear ep so I could watercolor the image. The trim is a very narrow hand-dyed silk.
Have a wonderful week, Sarah enjoying all the cards created in your honor. It must be so exciting to be selected as FS!
Thanks everyone for stopping by my gallery and always your comments are greatly appreciated.
Have a great STRESSless Turkey week....
one4joy daily I am thinking of chasing fashion over on my blog today, I'd love it if you'd stop by and say HI.

Love your collection of stamps, you have some unusual ones which make fabulous cards! This one is such a wonderful message with a beautiful bird, I can imagine this really speaking to someone's heart! Love the dp water and the hand dyed silk which picks up the fluff of the flamingo's tail feathers!
