    A big congrats to Cary, the newest (and last FS for 2013) Featured Stamper! Such a wonderful gallery! I chose This card to case. I loved the white on color and the window opening, so I kept those but I changed the color, the images and made 3 openings thru the front instead of 1.

    For my CASE, I white embossed the bg onto kraft card stock trimmed to 5.25 x 4.0. I temporarily attached it to the front of my A2 card and die cut the solid flower 3 times thru the front. After lining up a piece of vanilla vellum, I white embossed the three flower images onto the vellum. I decided the white embossed kraft didn’t show up well around the cut outs, so I die cut a band of white and lined it up on top. It may be a bit hard to see, but the light shines thru the vellum on the cut outs thru the card so nicely. I added ribbon like Cary did and also a little greeting tag attached to the ribbon.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    A big Congrats to  Roberta, the newest Featured Stamper (FS359)! She has such a wonderful gallery! I chose THIS beautiful card to case. I kept the large oval and shaving cream background, but I used different image, different colors and made mine a Christmas card.

    On my card today, I’m using this really wonderful candle image. I just love it! I thought it would look really nice w/ an opening behind it and the stained glass stamped on top. Logically, the stained glass should show thru the glass of the Hurricane lamp, but y’all will have to overlook that one. It was getting late and that was a bit too much to do. Especially since I already did a special “into the window” treatment. It’s a lot like “out of the box” but it goes into the cut out instead of out of it. After stamping the image, I lightly penciled in the shape of the oval opening I wanted to die cut. Then I cut around the parts that I needed to have on top of the die to keep from cutting them off and I inserted the oval die as shown.

    It’s just a rough cut around the candle now…I’ll trim it after I die cut the oval.

    This is how it looks with the bottom of the die inserted under the bottom of the image. All ready to die cut now.

    Die cutting and embossing all finished! Now I’ll trim it and color the image. The stained glass image was gold embossed on a piece of dk purple shaving cream background I made ages ago. I liked the contrast of the dk purple behind the candle. The greeting was stamped below and my finished card is 4.25 x 5.50. These are the Copics I used to color it.

The curvy white strip on top is a couple of left over pieces from die cutting a labels 17. The strips were pierced, attached on top of the two rows of flowers w/ ribbon on top. The large 5.25 x 4.0 white panel was also pierced around the edges. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    On my second card, I started by using a brayer and a large rainbow ink pad to cover a large piece of white card stock. After stamping the Ornate Background, I added some highlights w/ a white gel pen and a white Prismacolor pencil. I then added black enamel dots all over the design. The two border/frame images were stamped, colors and die cut w/ the matching dies. The greeting was die cut w/ a small petite oval and I cut along the edges of the design to insert it. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
