Barb(BarbieP) is the Featured Stamper this week....and I couldn't be happier for her. We have developed a face-to-face friendship because of SCS....and I'm delighted to call her "friend". She creates wonderful cards and has a real strength for masculine and vintage style cards, but can do any style with ease and panache.
Barb knows that I am NOT a CASER, but can be inspired by someone's lovely work. I chose this CARD for several reasons: 1. I love it. 2. She was kind enough to send it to me for Easter 3. I admired it greatly when she first uploaded it. I used a floral image on an overlay bg, but hers is much more CAS than mine. : )
A BIG hug and congratulations, Barb. An honor long overdue.

This is pretty amazing! I LOVE that sentiment, it is so beautifully surrounded with lovely framing and flowers that are wonderfully colored. Love the addition of the butterfly!

lovely, Sallie! And a nice tribute to your friend, Barb. It is indeed a wonderful blessing to meet SCS'ers IRL and develop the friendship in other areas.
A beautiful card, done in your signature style.

As always, so beautifully stamped, coloured and sponged, Sallie, a lovely, light touch with your colours and the bg is so pretty and intricate. I knew you'd be delighted for Barb!
