I've been a fan of Betty's for while, and I love her gallery. I wanted to case this one: One of a Kind by gbedwright at Splitcoaststampers
because I really like the layout, the colors, everything. But it just wasn't my day. The build a tree set (IO) just would not fit that direction, so it changed the whole card. I still have a tree, but my colors are different, the layout has changed. What started as a CASE is now an inspiration, I guess. Sorry I couldn't work it out better, Betty.
Everything was stamped w/ the one ink. Some highlights were added w/ a white gel pen. All the pink panels were edged w/ the white marker, then dotted w/ white and burgundy gel pens. The 4 scallops at the bottom were done w/ the Notch and Die tool. The bordeaux bg is stamped tone on tone w/ swirls from an Autumn Leaves set. TFL
