You won’t find this at a Hallmark store!  I got this in the mail yesterday from my friend Sandy – who creates the most incredible cards and projects.  Sandy is more than just a stamper; I think she’s an artist and the meticulous care she puts into her work is amazing.

Here’s what she sent me –

Sandy has all kinds of neat toys to play with, but she stayed with Stampin’ Up! only products on this one since she was sending it to me.  Wasn’t that sweet?  The flower is the Hostess Level 1 – From the Garden, and the butterfly (which she embossed, then colored) is from a retired hostess set – On Gossamer Wings.  The sentiment (also embossed) is from Priceless.

The colors really make this card special.  It’s not just a Cameo Coral or Pretty in Pink flower; Sandy blended several different markers to get the look she wanted.  Same with the leaves – they’re a blend of three different greens.  I’m going to have to ask my mom if she’ll bring that flower with her to technique class tonight so I can play with it! 

So – Thanks, Sandy!!  If anyone else wants to see her work on screen, just send me a card!
