Yay, hotwheels, Linda, is the Featured Stamper this week. Great choice, Ardyth! She has been such a faithful member and a great supporter of MMTPT for years. I love her fun and very collaborative style.
You are probably thinking I have lost my mind as may card doesn't remotely resemble Linda, 's pretty card.....but my original vision was to have a circle with this fun shamrock inside and some blooms falling around.
After I stamped it, I didn't want to color it so I decided to dip it in some ink/spray/smash colors.
The look was a bit off, so I decided to just cut out the large shamrock and pop it up . I then used the background for the card layers. The little pile of blooms on the bottom is a bit odd, but after I attached them, there was no going back without a major redo...lol!
Thanks for the inspiration, Linda! Thanks for all you do and for your giant heart!
