Featured Stamper - TheresaCC

Today's Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers is Theresa Momber (a/k/a TheresaCC). I actually had time to do two cards -- one last night and one this morning.

The first card is a sneak peek of a soon-to-be released (next week) set from Mark's Finest Papers called Our Side of the Pond.




I CASEd this card of Theresa's -- Life Happens -- keeping much of the feel of her card. I used Spellbinders Labels Nine for my frog image panel, stamping the cattails in Palette Cognac and coloring with Copic markers, sponging around the edge with Palette Raw Sienna. I finally figured out the technique of inking up a Cuttlebug embossing folder so that the ink transfers onto the embossed piece. That's what I did with the background panel. After stamping the sentiment, I punched it out using the SU Key Tag punch, adding a button and some twine.

This card also qualifies for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge of using kraft as the card base. While not called kraft (it's actually Mark's Finest Papers Desert Sand), I don't think anyone is going to argue.

My second card is a CASE of Theresa's Rainbow Butterflies. I didn't change much on this card, keeping the colors, layout and theme. What I did change were the stamps -- this butterfly is a new Purple Daisies Designs stamp I found at a recent StampFest in Clearwater. It coordinates with one of the Paper Shapers punches. I added an additional two layers (one black, one white) to my card.

What drew me to Theresa's card were the bright colors on her butterflies, so I didn't want to change that at all. The flower image is from Just for Fun, and the sentiment is from Verve's Birthday Surprise.
