Bella's Favorite Stamper

I'm finding all kinds of fun things to do in the Stamping Bella forum these days. Evidently there is a featured stamper challenge every month. This month, Angie Williams was the featured stamper. We were to CASE a bella card from her gallery and change at least 2 things.

I chose this card because I loved the button balloons. So what did I change? Here's my list:

1. I changed the color scheme to be a little brighter.
   
2. I didn't clip the outer layer's corners with a ticket corner punch.
3. I used clear buttons and colored them with a copic marker to match my monsters.
4. Instead of putting my sentiment in a circle, I used a little flag at the bottom because it fit my sentiment better.
5. I used embroidery floss for the balloon's strings instead of drawing them on.
6. I used a different embossing folder.
7. I also added crystal effects to the orange balloon that the green monster is holding.

Wow, I changed more than I thought. But, I think you can definitely still see the resemblance from the original card.

This was a great challenge. Thanks Angie for the inspiration!
