Was able to manage three challenges with this one: FS, featuring Lynn's super, growing gallery...Hope Box by InkyPinkys at Splitcoaststampers
and the CC-daffodil delight, mint macaron (sad this is going away) and highland heather. I added polished pink and mango melody for my dessert, both retiring colors.
The theme for ABC18V is view master. I loved my view master as kind, I bought one for my grands. I always felt so grownup, looking at cool pictures of animals or planets. I thought this could work because even though the stamp set is called heart mosaic, I thought it looked more like a leaded glass window, which is why I stamped it in a gray pigment ink and heat embossed it. I used the three colors to paint parts of it, used some WOS to add some shine and a bunch of birds surrounding it. I splattered with most of the colors. As far as the FS goes, I changed the orientation, chose a floral stamp instead of dies, similar colors but brighter and focused on birds instead of butterflies. This will probably be a birthday card. I love Woodware stamps...affordable and a bit different. I love to watch the birds through the window. Thanks for the challenges! Haven't done a CC in a while, felt the urge.

What a wonderful stamp and wouldn't that be a beautiful window to have in one's house. I love the birds and bud popped up around the "window" as well as the splatters. Great card.
I was so pleased to see your bird is yellow. We have been eagerly awaiting the return of Hooded Orioles to our area and finally spotted one last night. Hoping the rest of his gang show up soon. They are the highlight of our Spring/Summer bird watching show. Hope you enjoy your birds as much as we do.

Jean this is lovely and does look like stained glass. I used to love my view finder as a child. It was small and on a key ring. I think I have it still somewhere. Happy day and hugs.

Beautiful card. I love that image . Jean , I think it looks like leaded glass, too. Great image for the View master challenge, and a wonderful CASE of the Featured stamper’s card.
