Today's SCS Featured Stamper is Becca Feaken (Becca Stamps) of Amazing Paper Grace. I've loved Becca's work since she first started sharing with the world … she is the master of the Nestabilities die cuts.
One of the Featured Stamper rules is not to use a Sketch Challenge Card for your inspiration … and I seem to have a knack for always choosing a sketch card, and not realizing it until I am ready to post. The first card I did was inspired by Becca's SC193 card Remembering 911.
I needed to do a masculine card with my Stampers Anonymous Always Remember stamp, and her taller version of the sketch worked perfectly. The card also needed to be mailed using standard postage, so I replaced the ribbons with a Martha Stewart punched border.
I finished with three white brads, Autumn Leaves Sentiment Circles, and a 2" scalloped circle double-punched for a medallion effect.
So, since I failed to follow the rules with my first card, I had to do a second.
This card was inspired by Becca's Bird Call ~ New Cuttlebug design. Her fabulous Fabriano watercolor paper (I need to get some of that) was replaced with a wonderful shimmery white cardstock.
The sentiment is studio G, and the colors are Brocade Blue and Night of Navy. I colored my bird using Chalk Inks and a Blender Pen. The dew drops were swapped for a coordinating game.
Thanks Becca for all of your truly Amazing Inspiration.
These are both awesome!! I LOVE that sentiment on the first one!! Very cool how you colored the bird on the embossed panel!!
hugs, Jami

(note to self: border punch used to create strips as a background; steal this ASAP!) 🙂
