A big CONGRATS to Lynn (aka allee's)! The Featured Stamper title is well deserved for Lynn! For my card, I chose THIS wonderful card of Lynn's to case. I loved the masked strip & silhouette image so I kept those. I changed the images, added a horizontal sponged line (because it looked like my little boy was sitting on top of the water) & added an extra layer. I rarely work on the card front..for me, that's just asking for trouble. Yeah, like I need more trouble, lol.
To begin, I masked the sides and sky are of the strip and sponged ink from the blue rainbow ink pad. Then I removed the sky mask and placed it over the water and sponged in the sun and sky using the birthstone & desert heat rainbow ink pads. After removing all the masks, that's when I discovered my little boy looked like he was sitting on the water, lol. So I masked the sky again and sponged a green horizontal line using the fresh greens ink pad. After adding the sentiment, lg cattails and black layer my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished.
Congrats again, Lynn! Enjoy your week and thanks so much for looking!

This is just the sweetest image and love all the masking with the sponging you have done... My sister had an outside figure that she used by her lake, and it was of a little boy fishing... Your card has brought that memory back to me... Thanks so much...
