Featured Stamper Cards

Again, I didn't know the featured stamper but her cards were gorgeous!  I once again used the newly released Innovative Stamp Creations Rose Sketches.  Is this rose stunning or what! [ I'm telling you they are the best realistic stamps I have ever seen!]  The background - no dp- that is part of the stamp set!  Love this set~
This is also ISC - Fall is Near.  I will be honest, I was playing with this stamp - kind of stumped me actually - I love it, I just still am not quite sure how to color it - so, I sponged...a lot.  I cut the swirl out of foam (!) with a TIm Holtz die cut.  I was happy how well that cut the foam.  The sentiment was a little dark so I did some faux stitching to try and balance it out.  Still not sure about this one.  The "Architects"  (the DT's) did a BEAUTIFUL job with this image.  I will probably end up CASEing one of theirs when I use this stamp again.  When in "not sure" mode - CASE - works for me! lol
Thanks for stopping in -
