Green Tea Blackbird
I made a quick and simple Thinking of You card tonight for the Featured Stamper Challenge at SCS. Today’s featured stamper is jaydekay. Judy’s gallery is wonderful and this is the card I chose to case. I took the basic layout and changed all else.
Judy stamped her background image, while I used designer paper. Judy’s main image was a heart, while I went simple and used a rectangular panel. In keeping with my quick and simple theme, I kept my color scheme to black, white and DP, my ink and ribbon to black, and for a bit of interest I rounded corners and used some tiny pure white pearls. I’ve been wanting pure white pearls for the longest time, and finally got them from Joan’s Garden. This beautiful stamp, Heart Sing by Rubber Soul, came from Stampers Dream. This card is large at 7.75 x 5.25″. I was given a large stack of white envelopes to fit this size card and I really like them. I will be looking for a source to purchase some more. I love having a bit more room to work with when using larger images!!!

This is so soft and beautiful. I just love the gorgeous sheer ribbons you use on your cards.
I really like that. Another great sample from Sharon Johnson.
You rock. (Whatever that means, I hear my grandchildren say it.)

Really a beautiful card, Sharon! I love that stamp set, and you have certainly done it justice adding you special *Sharon* touch! Thanks, my friend!
This is a beautiful card, Sharon. That DP is perfect with the image you used!
This is such a serene card Sharon! The teal/black is so beautiful together. Best, Curt
Pretty paper and a great looking set! I love the impact of the black and how the paper becomes part of the scene. That’s a big card, too! I know how you love big! I’ve bought envelopes this size at Wal-Mart, but they’re just regular envelopes — not real pretty.
So beautiful, and such a thoughtful card!! I love those papers with that silhouette bird!!
Gorgeous card, Sharon!
