Featuring Colleen

I'm a week late with this card.  My good friend Colleen of Dietrich Designs was the Featured Stamper at SCS last week.  I adore Colleen's work and have learned so much from her.  Be sure to click on her blog name and go for a visit. You'll be glad you did.

This is Colleen's beautiful card that I chose to CASE.  And because I know how much she loves hydrangeas and pearls this is what I did....



This is not the first of Colleen's cards that I've CASEd and I'm sure it won't be the last!

And since I used some snippets of white, I'll go to Pixie's Playground for a quick visit. 

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Best of Flowers, Flourish Background (long retired)
Ink:  Very Vanilla Craft, SU Markers (Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz)
Paper:  Whisper White
Other:  Blender Pen, Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Basic Pearls

To get the dimension on the flower, I stamped it twice on a snippet and used the blender pen to spread the color and a marker to add some highlights.  I cut out one entire flower intact and attached it to the flourish piece.  Then I cut the other flower head and leaves out separately and attached them over the first flower with dimensionals.  Hope that makes sense.

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  We've had beautiful weather and have another day added to our weekend.  Very nice!

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy!
