FS69: MMBC

Maren is this week's featured stamper. I am sure that she will come as a new gallery to some of you - I know I have spotted her several times in challenges and was lucky enough to stumble across her gallery! I was wowed!

Here is her gallery!

Here is the card which I cased

Here is my version.



I did the Hanna Stamps design challenge (HSC19) for this card as well. HSC19 was using paper piecing *and* bling. I paper pieced the shirt/pants combo and the cute little mushrooms. I put bling on the smoke with a sakura stardust pen! Challenge completed!!!

The Featured Stamper challenge was fun! I took Maren's card and modified the look slightly. I started with a dark burgundy card base (DCWV), then I used patterned paper (my slab from Costco - the Wild Asparagus pack). I had velvet rick rack - so I used orange to pull from the colors in the patterned paper. I adhered that to the card, then used the nestability punch to create the scalloped rectangles in ruby red and whisper white cardstock. The sentiment was printed on the white cardstock prior to punching with the nestability punch. I made up the sentiment - don't know if anyone else has used this sentiment - it came to me when I was creating the card. I am so corny! Or should I say I am S'more corny than most stampers!

I paper pierced the shirt and mushrooms, then used my quickie glue pen to adhere the mushrooms and shirt/pants to the Riley. Copics were used to color in Riley and the fire. Then I used a sakura stardust clear to highlight the smoke (bling-ified!). Main image is on dimensionals!

Enjoy this week's Featured Stamper! I have so much stamping to do - new releases coming up! You are going to be on FRECKLED overload!
