Featured Stamper: Carol Burrage
Yesterday’s Featured stamper was Carol Burrage. I had a great time browsing through her gallery and admiring her work.
I decided to case this card. I kept the size, the layout and I chose the colors of my card by the colors in the ribbon. I also repeated my greeting underneath my images.
I changed the colors and the set I used.
I started out by looking through my ribbon and finding a multicolored one that would work for this card. I picked one from a multi ribbon pack from Papermania.
From the ribbon I knew that I wanted to use Bravo Burgundy, So Saffron and More Mustard.
Since I just got this set at Portland and haven’t used it yet, I pulled out So Much. I stamped five flowers in Black Stazon on Shimmery White, colored two with So Saffron, two with Bravo Burgundy and one with More Mustard refills and Aqua painter and cut them out.
Next I added Pewter Jumbo Eyelets in each center and then a Fire Circle Rhinestone brad in those eyelets.
The card base is a 8″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Bravo Burgundy folded in half. The two circle stamps from So Much were stamped all over the card front and the edges were sponged.
The More Mustard layer measures 3″ x 7 1/2″ and the edges were sponged. Black brads were added to each corner.
It was layered with a 2 3/4″ x 7 1/4″ piece of So Saffron. The edges were punched with the ticket corner punch. The Faux Stitching was stamped with the All in a Row stamp and Basic Black ink.
The top layer is a 2 1/2″ x 7″ piece of Shimmery White cardstock, with punched corners. I used Mellow Moss reinker and aqua painter to color it’s center and paper pierced the edges.
I stamped the sentiment from So Much three times on the bottom of the page and added four black brads in between and on the outside of the sentiments. The flowers were adhered with dimensionals.

Oh, Beate…I love it! That set really never did anything for me. You can always figure out where talent lies–it’s in the people who can take any set and do wonders with it. Awesome!
