Congrats to the Featured Stamper, Elaine! My first visit to her gallery and as I checked it out, I couldn't figure out how I was going to CASE anything. She has a lovely gallery, but it's almost totally people/little kid images and I don't have any of those. Unfortunately, I rarely do people images. So I chose Giselle and placed my Daffy Tag in place of the girl. I kept the general layout and dots, but changed the images and colors and made my own background in place of the dp. I was also inspired by this Spots & Dots the IC challenge.
The daffodil tag was stamped twice and one was die cut using the matching tag die. On the second one, I used markers to color in the daffys, cut them out and attached them onto the base image. The sentiment and black layer were die cut w/ classic ovals and attached on the tag.
The background was created using three sizes of circle punches and all the circles were glued onto the white bg. I had this very thin black frame sitting out, left over from some other project and since it fit, I glued it onto my background, as well. The wide dot ribbon was tied w/ a small yellow ribbon before I attached the bg to my 5.5 x 4.25 white card.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Julie, this is such a pretty card. I love the way the sentiment goes. Showering someone with blessings works for me! Love the daffodils you added in the corner of your tag. Fine work. TFS

Yeah, you got me, I'm a character stamper, for the most part. I should really branch out a little more - I do love colouring flowers etc when I get round to it!
LOVE your card. The background you created is fab!
