We have a wonderful new sponsor, Clearly Whimsy Stamps, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Wishing Well! A randomly selected participant in the Wishing Well challenge will receive $25 store credit to Whimsy Stamps and the LEAD will be invited as Guest Designer of a our next challenge!
I chose to work with the HAPPY HELLO stamp set and coordinating HELLO LARGE WORD DIE. I love making "hello" cards -- they're so perfectly all-purpose! Check out all the fun graphical elements in HAPPY HELLO:
I started my card by watercoloring a scrap of watercolor paper in the pink, orange, and yellow colors of the flowers in the inspiration photo. Out of that, I die-cut the word "hello." The leaves were cut on my Silhouette and sponged with different green inks. I dry-embossed the background with a new-to-me folder, a gift from my fabulous teammate Sheri Gilson, then added a strip of washi tape before stitching down the leaves and word die-cut with metallic thread. I stamped the word "friend" in black, trimmed it down and popped it up on foam tape, then added a few enamel dots to finish things off.
Make sure you visit each of the designers' blogs for more inspiration!

Fantastic card Amy. Love the dry embossed background, the colorful word... the stitching... awesome design.
Love all that white space (embossed chevrons always a favorite of mine) and the colouring of the hello - fabulous! Great card as always.
