You're Special


Hello, friends! I wanted to share the biggest card I've ever made. That's because this Suzi Blu stamp, Spring Flower Chic, is huge! 6.75" from head to toe and 4" across. Huge!

I was going to put her on the cover of a journal, but when I saw my friend Emily's blog and her card using the same image, I wanted to try paper piecing and make a card, too.


I stamped her and colored her hair, skin, and flowers with Copics, and paper pieced her clothes with My Mind's Eye papers. I colored in some grass and stamped the sentiment by Hero Arts.

I'm still hoping to stamp her on the cover of a journal, or even on canvas. But for now, I'll have to get some large envelopes!

Have a good week and thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: Unity Stamps, Hero Arts
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink
Ink: Memento
Papers: My Mind's Eye
Other: Copics, dimensional adhesive
