Featured Stamper Challenge #133

This is my card for yesterday's Featured Stamper Challenge: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...d.php?t=455188

I so enjoyed going through Joanne's (aka jojot )gallery. Boy I had about five chosen and I narrowed it down to this card:http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...p;ppuser=48584

Changes:

Put ribbon on right side only and added a tag

Paper Pierced around BG panel

Popped up flower with dimensionals

Stamped flourishes on one panel

Used DP instead of Embossing BG

Sponging

I used this pretty new release PANSY from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS LLC: http://www.cleardollarstamps.com/

WHAT I DID:

I followed Joanne's sketch, although I moved the two panels a little closer together leaving an even spacel all around the outside. I stamped the flourish that comes with this set partially in the upper left corner of the left panel. I did not have the oval nestie so I used my coluzzle and cut out two ovals, on just larger than the other in White CS. The larger one I trimmed to give a thin border. On the smaller oval I stamped the pansy. With a q-tip swap I rubbed blue chalk just around the edges of the leaves and flower. Then I stamped the pansy two more times on white CS. I colored the flower and cut out and popped up. Then colored the leaves on the second and cut out and glued directly to the oval trimming off the excess. Then I sponged some distress ink on the edges of the small oval and the other panel edges. I popped up the two bg panels and the small oval onto the larger white oval. To get the scallop border on the larger oval, I adhered the oval to black paper and cut a border using edging scissors.

Thank you for visiting.
