Itâs my pleasure to host the Featured Stamper Challenge this week. So a big congrats to Sandi! Sandi has the most amazing gallery & it was hard to chose just one, but I finally went w/ THIS card for my case. I kept the white banded bg die & floral theme, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a slimline card.
For my birthday card, I die cut the white diagonal bg die & cut a long piece of butter yellow card to go behind it. On this yellow piece, I sponged some red & orange inks then used a stencil to add a bit more visual texture. The poppies were colored w/ Copics & half die cut/half fussy cut & popped up a little on top of the white bg. The greeting was white embossed on black.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups, Copic colors & links: The Write Stuff

Julie, I love your use of the yellow background and how you shaded with the red and orange inks. What a beautiful background to highlight your beautiful flowers.

Julie, your coloring is so exquisite. I love how it highlights the details of these beautiful stamps. I love poppies and I adore your poppies. Beautiful design with the striped bg. And that small touch of black for the sentiment panel is perfection. Great card.
