Good evening. I've chosen another wonderful stamper for this week's Featured Stamper Challenge (246) at Splitcoast Stampers. It's Deborah Saaranen (DeborahLynneS) and her gallery is stunning. Her execution and expertise of how she uses her designer paper is what really caught my eye. It's wonderful. She has a very classy and elegant gallery, yet it's one that's easy to CASE too. I chose Deb's Ariana's Wedding card and made my Beautiful, Adorable, You card. I loved the pink, vintage style of Deb's card, and the fact that she didn't use one single stamp, but did use a lot of premade materials actually made this card very fun and easy for me to do. You know it's not my usual style and out of my box, but I'm happy with the way that it turned out and hope that you are too.
I made a second card for this challenge to share with you too taken from Deb's Think Pink Simple Layers and made my Prayers & Strength card. I love how this turned out. Please scroll down to see the lovely 2nd card and supply list. This card also qualifies for the Splitcoast Stampers Hope You Can Cling Too Challenge 1121 (HYCCT1121) and MOJO Monday (MOJO211).
Thank you so much for stopping by to see me and God bless you. Today's Treasure: Malachi 4.
