THIS CARD IS NAMED A
SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS FAVORITE OF THE
WEEK ENDING - SEPTEMBER 16, 2017!!
In my last blog post, I made a card from an old, never used 1995 PBX stamp with a verse from the poem, The Night Before Christmas. I entered it in several Splitcoaststampers challenges, and one in particular, the Alphabet Challenge, Round 7, it was entered for Letter J = "Just color...no dies." The kicker is, the very next challenge for Letter I is "Improve upon your last card," which means I needed to do another card using this same stamp, CASE the card, and change it somehow by improving upon it. Now, I really like my previous card, so all the while I was making it, I kept saying to myself, "Now, don't go overboard, because you have to leave something to do to it to improve upon it." Take a peek below...here is my improved upon card. I have also included the original below it so that you may see what I did to improve it:
