Guest stamper and a Hello Pineapple...

Today's most talented guest stamper is Crew member JoAnn Graham.  You can check out JoAnn's blog at http://therockpaperscissorsstudio.com/.  She designed this great card for our Demonstrator swap using the Pineapple stamp and a fun technique.

The "hello" is from the Hello You Thinlits Dies.

Here's a closer look at the pineapple.  JoAnn used several colors of ink by touching them directly on the stamp.  After stamping, she heat embossed some gold powder in a splatter image (Gorgeous Grunge) over the pineapple base.  The leaves were stamped in Emerald envy, then trimmed by hand and repositioned behind the pineapple for more depth.  Lovely card JoAnn!
