This week's featured stamper is Susan, known as SusieQ-lovesStampi. It was fun to browse your gallery Susan, and I was drawn to this card: Brilliant Butterfly by SusieQ-lovesStampi at Splitcoaststampers. Such a beautiful card and one that makes me stretch.
I focused on the collage style background and similar layout and changed the colors and stamps. I wanted to try for a masculine look.
First I rolled my Whimsy jumbo roll covering the front panel. You can still see some evidence of that stamping. I followed that with a number of images from the Traveler stamp set in a variety of ink colors. I stamped the ship on another piece and fussy cut it. I don't have any Soft Suede colored twine so died my white twine that color. I sponged around the edges of the card as well as highlighting some of the stamped images. This background was a stretch for me, I love it when challenges do that. Another departure for me was to use my scissors to distress the edges of the Soft Suede panel that is matting the front. It just seemed to go with the theme.
Congratulations, Susan, and enjoy your week!
Thanks for looking!

What a fantastic card this Catherine! I love your interpretation of Susan's wonderful card and how you translated it into this amazing traveler card. You did a fabulous job coloring your white twine too. This is going straight into my favs! ~Karen.
