Congratulations Diana!

As most of you know, my sister is Diana Gibbs. She is the one who got me into Stampin' Up! She is very creative and has never-ending talent. Recently, she submitted some projects to Stampin' Up! for their Artisan Award contest.....and she won!!! She gets $500 cash, $500 in products, dinner with Shelli and others at convention and I'm not sure what else. (she explains it better on her website!)

I am very proud of her and strive to be like her some day!

One of our recent challenges was a sketch challenge. Here is the card I came up with for it.

It's a 5 X 5 card. The base is Pink Pirouette. The next layer is Raspberry Tart designer paper. The half circle is Pink Pirouette, embossed with the big shot and the texture plates. The oval is also Pink Pirouette embossed in the same way. The smaller oval is another piece of Raspberry Tart DSP and then the next smaller oval is Pink Pirouette card stock. The bird was stamped with Stazon on Whisper white card stock and coloured using the blender pens and re-inkers. It was then cut out and popped up on the card. 3 dew drops were attached with mini glue dots to the top right hand corner of the card. A white rub on sentiment was applied to the bottom right hand corner of the card.

Chow for now,

Jacqui
