One of our very own Teapotters has been chosen as the Featured Stamper today on Splitcoast - Pat Smethers. She was chosen by our fearless Teapot Queen Cindy Motherway and you just have to read the tribute and poem she wrote - here is the link. And here is a link to Pat's gallery.
The rules for the Featured Stamper Challenge are to pick a card from the stamper's gallery and change at least two things about it. I visited Pat's Critter File and chose this one - Sweet Friend.
I've always admired her cowboy cards but I also love all her Gruffies and House Mouse cards. They're all so sweet it was hard to choose from. I just happened to recently purchase my first House Mouse stamp called Fragrant Friendship (I always make a serious dent in my wallet when I visit One Little Spark in Tuckerton!).
I made a few changes - I changed the image, the colors and flipped the little cut out with the ribbon to the other side as it fit better that way with the image. I haven't added a sentiment yet, but when I do it will go on the lower left portion of the yellow panel right below the image.
So I say - Great choice today Cindy and Congratulations Pat! Your gallery is such an inspiration!
My daughter's FORTIETH birthday is this Friday and I can't even work up the interest to try and MAKE her a card. Oh Lordy. I'm afraid it will NEVER come back.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright cheery colours and adorable image!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Pat can make those hairy mice (and bears) look good - and so can you. I have to confess they don't carry much appeal for me.
ReplyDeleteI like the hardware - I never quite know how to use those little clips. The punched out circle makes a good frame for it.
