Beauty and Sparkle

Well, I don't usually stamp on Sundays...but my friend Joan Ervin was chosen as the Featured Stamper! So, I finally had some time late today to CASE her. She's just such a great woman. We served together for several months on the Dirty Dozen team at SCS. She's fun, she's strong, she's dedicated to her family, and she's a wonderfully talented stamper.

Here's the link to the card I cased of hers: God's Beauty, it's wonderfully full of rich color and texture and sparkle, I don't think I did it justice, but here's mine

Changes I made: The color palette, not *shabbying* the edges, not using the flourish stamps and adding a layer that was DP not stamped (plus different ribbon)

The butterflies are inked with Palette ink and colored with copic markers, which is really the only non-SU thing on the card. After the coloring I inked the butterflies and flowers with versamark and heat embossed with Irridescent Ice. They are very shimmery :) Here you can see it on the butterflies, but not so much on the flowers.

So for Joan....a happy day to you my friend! May you see beauty today and God's handwriting in your life!
