One of my very nice customers, who I show my cards to on Mondays, gave me this stamp, plus many many more! She also gave me lots of blank cards w/envelopes. You ought to see her very clean and organize stamping room. It looks nothing like where I do my creating! LOL Anyway I thought I'd make her a thank you card using one of the stamps she gave me. So, here we go.........
I stamped my image on whisper white cs, colored it using both Faber-Castell Pens, and w/c pencils. I highlighted the flowers and added some dots with my signo white gel pen. I also put sparkle glaze on the boot buckle and glossy varnish on the boot toes and heel, but of course you can't see that in this picture. Darn, it really looks good! I then chalked around over parts of the flowers, then chalked around the image. Cut this out with my nesties., sponging the edges.
Cut two more layers, one from the brown cs, and one from the kiwi kiss cs. On the brown one I doodled the edges with the signo pen. On the kiwi kiss one, I sponged the edges, then doodled with a pen. Put all my layers together.
Stamped the sentiment with versa mark and eb w/black ep. Cut out with my nesties twice, so I could make it smaller in size. Sponged the edges.
Made a bow from some newly purchased ribbon. That's right, I made this bow and put a brad in the center to hold it together. How brave am I! LOL
Put some plaid dp on a white card, sponged the edges with close to cocoa and then doodled them. Popped up my layered image with the bow onto the card front and just glued on the sentiment on the lower bottom.
Well, I hope my customer/friend likes her card! ......TFL :0)
