Recently, Sandi MacIver, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, sent me one of the most amazingly beautiful and layered cards I've ever seen. She called it, "Notably Charming Fifth Avenue Floral." I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how I could make something similar, given the tools, equipment and stamp sets I had. The card below is my blue and silver version. Please be sure to visit Sandi's blog to see her gorgeous card; I've provided a link to the "sister card" she sent to me.
Also, Paper Pal Arts is turning 100 (100 challenges that is)! In honor of it, this card is being submitted to the PPA #100 Challenge. Then, I'll work on a batch the cards without the glitter brad (because glitter causes safety issues to the soldiers under night vision) to send to Operation Write Home.
NOTE: A few days after posting this card, and sending a message to Sandi to share with her how she inspired me, I received an incredible surprise: Sandi featured me as a guest artist!
