Featured Stamper Sunday ~ My Confidante.....

Good Morning!

This is my card for today's featured stamper. This week there is a different featured stamper challenge and it is to choose one of the past 199 featured stampers and CASE one of them! How fun is that? I didn't get a chance to CASE Tobi a few weeks ago so that is who's gallery I chose! She is so talented! HERE is her card that I CASEd.

Here is my card~

The base of my card is Sage Shadow with a mat of Early Espresso CS. The top piece is glossy white CS. I TOTALLY CASEd this idea from Theresa Momber. Oh my gosh, I just loved her card and have wanted to CASE it since last week so here it is!

I masked off the bottom portion with a sticky note like Theresa did and then sponged layers of Ranger Antique Linen, Going Gray, Soft Suede and Early Espresso. I then stamped the trees from PTI's Through the Trees set using Black Memento ink. I then added "snow" on the trees just like Theresa did, using my white gel pen. I then stamped the birds which are also included in the Through the Trees set, using my Versamark and then used heat and stick powder, melted it and added red glitter.

For the lower "snow" portion, I used the post it notes as she said and sponged first a little Antique Linen and then Soft Sky so actually, the snow took on a little sage color but it looks really pretty anyway! I then stamped the beautiful sentiment from Verve's Because of You on the snow using Black Memento ink. I then used my Quickie glue pen and added a little Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the mounds. I added some snowflakes using Antique Linen ink and a snowflake from Verve's Winter Wonder set.

I made this card for a friend who asked me if I would make a sentimental Christmas card for her boyfriend. On the inside, I stamped one of the beautiful sentiments from Verve's One Person set. Here is a look at that ~

The trees were stamped using Antique Linen ink and the sentiment was stamped using Early Espresso ink. I added a little red glitter heart using my Martha Stewart heart confetti punch.
