| FS942 - this week's very talented featured stamper is NicholeC. I found this INSPIRATION. Rather than doing ombre, I went bold with the colors. I kept the 3 balloons as were on the card but went with orange, pink and purple. I have some really gorgeous handmade paper in my collection that I picked up at a wonderful art store in Chicago and it was perfect for a starting point on my card. I added some additional layering using some coordinating papers then added the purple for layering. Once layered, I finished with the punched balloons and added some bakers twine with a couple of dimensionals to the top balloons. Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today.

As You Like it Challenge - Femine or Masculine - This is really tough to choose. I have more nephews in my family and so I try to focus on making cards for all of them.

I am so deeply sorry to hear about our dear friend Polly. I have been crafting friends with her for many years and am eternally grateful for getting to meet her on zoom calls when we were both hosting on Virtual Stamp Night challenges.
For my card, I used this beautiful napkin that has a collage theme to it. I layered it on gold matt designer paper and then a blue layer.
The card was finished with the sentiment popped up on dimensionals and really small diamond dots that were left over from a diamond art. I love these little diamonds and love the shine and size.
Polly sent me some stamped dog images a few years back and I have found where I can purchase all of them to add them to my collection. I am looking forward to adding them to my collection so I can keep her memory fresh in my mind every time I use one.

For my card, I was inspired by the layout of the hearts from the inspiration. I made another card recently using this same technique. It is a fun technique and a great way to use up a bunch of small hearts that I punch out of my scrap paper.
I learned this technique more than 5 years ago. The technique used die cuts but I again used scrap punched hearts. I layered them gluing 5 high. Next, I used my score tool to score the lines on white cardstock. I then laid out the hearts on the card front.

Once the glue was dry, I used red acrylic paint for the first layer then I used watered down pink and ran it over the top of the hearts. Finally, while it was still damp, I used gold foil flakes.
The card was finished with The Ton die cut XOXO and the sentiment popped up on dimensionals.
