This week's Features Stamper, Annette aka fauxme, brings us delightful inspiration of the Stampin' Up variety. I knew this was the one for me as soon as I spotted it and after considering a few others, it was for sure. The stripes in her panel reminded me of this SU paper pack so that was the deciding factor.

Like many of you, I too love the combo of purple and green. So, I kept Annette's color scheme, a similar layout, the stripes on one panel and a floral center piece. I used a single flower instead of a bouqet; changed the stripes; different frame behind the flower; made this a birthday card and added the embossed bg and rhinestone embellishments.
I die cut and ink blended the flower using a card I had seen on Pinterest as a guide for the colors and shading. Unfortunately, the cardmaker wasn't named so I can't give them credit here. But it was my inspiration for how to combine Annette's two shades of purple into my single flower.
Congratulations Annette on being selected Featured Stamper this week. Your Gallery is filled with beauty and charm and I hope you see that reflected back to you in the cards made in your honor this week. I hope everyone's week is filled with beauty and charm too. TFL

Debbie this is glorious! Such lovely shading and the variety of shapes holds my interest and keeps me looking - and finding - more detail. Just so fabulous.

Love how rich and vibrant your colors are on this Debbie! Looks spectacular against all the whites in the background. I have hardly used that striped dp and I love seeing you use it here!

Spectacular! Purples are my favorite and your ink-blending flowers are superb. The ef in BG, the stripe,, the die-cut BG, and the headline banner are all fantastic...

Debbie, what a gorgeous bloom with bold, vibrant color. And a brilliant background to support your beautiful bloom. I love the embossing and how everything in the background is so neutral allowing the bloom to shine. Gorgeous!

Wow, the colors are just beautiful as is the card. The first card I made that I loved was purple and green and it remains one of my favorite combinations. Your sketch and panels are perfect offsets to the gorgeously colored up flower. Amazing case as always. Hope you have a special week too. Hugz
