Hello Stampers!  I spent the day cooking yesterday, I made a big pot of chili for the week ahead.  So no card making yesterday.  I do have the get the laundry done today, so I spent my morning making this card for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED: 

For my card I started with the floral image.  I stamped, die cut, and then colored it in with copics.  Then I worked on the Sahara Sand layer.  First I ink blended the edges of the layer with a blending brush.  Then I stamped some script using the Elements of Text set.  Next I used a stencil to add some texture to the layer.  From here I laid out the ribbon to where it would be, and then I stamped my sentiment.  Then I adhered the ribbon to the layer. To finish this layer I adhered the flower and some gems.  For the inside I partially stamped the floral image and colored it in, and added a sentiment.

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!
