The Featured Stamper of the Week, FS761 (9/5/2021) - Give Her a Whirl - is shirlb19, also known as Shirl.
Shirl is a talented, creative stamper who inspires me week after week with her fun cards! I have popped many a card of hers into my Favorites to use as inspiration pieces. Here is the card from Shirls gallery that inspired my card: ABC14Z26 Out Standing by shirlb19 at Splitcoaststampers
Is that not the cutest donkey ever?! And Shirl thought to put him on top of a stump and have cascading green hearts - oh my, just too cute for words!
As you can see, I stuck close to Shirls layout, theme and colors, with a few tweaks of my own here and there. I did not have a stump stamp, so I substituted diecut Woodgrain logs. The hearts are a mis-mash of green and red, and to anchor my little donkey to the logs I tucked a bigger heart under its hooves.
A friend is recovering from Covid and I think this silly donkey-take care card will bring a smile to her face.
Thank you for the inspiration, Shirl! And congratulations on being chosen as Featured Stamper of the Week - you deserve it!

Love that you used the two different colors for those hearts, Susy. What a sweetheart of a case this is with the woodgrain logs and whimsical stitching. Also love the heart stamped with the sentiment. Sorry to hear your friend has covid but glad to hear she is recovering. With a friend like you who will send her this charmer, I am sure she will be buoyed up! You inspire me all the time with your cards. Thanks for the honor of this card. I love it!
