This Sunday a new challenge was started over at SCS. It is called the Featured Stamper Challenge.Each week a different stamper will be featured and the challenge is to case that stamper.
This weeks featured stamper is Krabearkub. He is a very talented stamper and I already had several of his creations in my favorites. The card I chose however, was a new creation. After I finished my card I realized that I had cased his entry for the challenge.
I kept the layout that Kurtis used. I wanted to try out some watercoloring techniques I had read about over at Sweet Miss Daisy's Blog. So I changed the image to a flower from the In Full Bloom set. I think I did a pretty fair job. I also wanted to keep the simplicity that he had in his card. So the only other stamping is on the Marigold panel and the sentiment. I did not have a metal edged tag, so I just layered my image onto a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I loved the detail of the paper piercing so I definitely kept that.
Stamps: In Full Bloom & Warmest Regards Ink: Jet Black StazOn, Chocolate Chip, Marigold Morning & Buckaroo Blue Paper: Watercolor paper, Chocolate Chip, Marigold Morning & Buckaroo Blue Accessories: Paper piercer and template, Aquapainter and Chocolate grosgrain

You did a great job with the challenge! I envy Kurtis' ability to have cards that look like they should be in the Idea Book!
Julie I love it! Simply but awesome. Love the colors, the placement of the image and popping with the chocolate chip. Although I do not know Kurtis I would love to see his work....
Terry, you can see his work by clicking the link with his SCS name or his real name. One leads to his SCS gallery and one to his blog.
Great job on the watercoloring! I'm still learning myself, but I think you're advancing quite well! This set is a good one to practice on - pretty card!
