This is my card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge - to CASE Nicole (ButterflyEars). I was delighted to see Nicole as Featured Stamper! Her gallery is just full of beautiful cards! I had a hard time deciding, but finally chose this beautiful CAS card: BE_LSC2322_Fruity Friday by ButterflyEars at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the layout and fruit tree theme, but changed:
-the stamp
-the placement of the punched border and ribbon
-omitted the sentiment
I stamped the fruit topiary with Memento Tuxedo black onto Gina K. 80 lb. White and colored it with Copic markers. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added shine to the apples and grapes with a Sakura glaze pen and sparkle to the centers of the sunflowers and the ribbon with Spica pens. I punched the border at the bottom with a MS border punch then backed it with Old Olive CS. Added a double loop bow made with my Bow Easy and some beautiful silk ribbon from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store: Blogs at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks, Beth, for the awesome choice of FS and huge congratulations, Nicole! Your work is wonderful! Enjoy your special day!

We chose the same card -- I like the border punch across the bottom with the interspersed pearls! And your coloring of that beautiful fruit topiary is wonderful.
