How excited was I to see this week's Featured Stamper is none other than my ODBD sister - Angie Crockett!!! WOOHOO!!!!! Congrats GF - you are so deserving of this honour!!!! :) I didn't have to go far when I decided to case her Lily of the Valley card. I kept the same image, bow feature, piercing and similar green/white colours. I modified the layout (I swear it started off more similar but morphed into something completely different!), added some layers, pearls and different sentiment.I started with a base of Hazel Bazzill and layered with white (pierced edges) and some MME French Flea Market DSP. Then I stamped both the Lily of the Valley and Sentiment from ODBD's Easter Blessings - which is being released TOMORROW!!!! Make sure you pop on by for the blog hop starting 8am US EST or 11pm AU EST!!! I coloured the lillies with markers and a blender pen (old olive, always artichoke, sage shadow and cut it out with Small Circle Nestabilities. I pierced the edge and then matted it with a Label 1 Hazel Bazzill die cut. Next I added the side flourishes (which are actually the ends from the largest tag out of Spellbinders Fancy Tags) and popped the whole panel up on foam tape. Then I notched the sentiment and attached it to the bottom of the card, adding a May Arts White Satin Ribbon bow made with my Bow Easy to the end of the panel. To finish I added some small Kaisercraft Snow Pearls to each of the corners of the feature panel.
