This week's Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper is Virginia! I'm so excited - I think this is the first time that I've actually met the FS in real life! Here's proof - a couple (maybe 3?!) of years ago, Tracey and I drove to Virginia's home town (about an hour away from me) for a local Scrapfest. We had a blast!
Virginia is a very talented cardmaker (and cook - let's not forget the FOOD!) so it was difficult to choose just one card as my inspiration - but here it is:
I focused on Viriginia's
-layout including offset white panel and sentiment placement
-use of an inlaid, but not quite laid down die cut
-embellished centre
I changed:
-the colours on my back panel
-the season of the card
-the placement of the 'dots' (Virginia's on the front panel, mine on my back panel)
-left off the 'nest' and stitching
I used:
-Memory Box Tilth Floral die
-Altenew Label Love
Fantastic card, love your CASE of Virginia's card, Cathy x
