A very nice sketch...I am outside the boundaries once again...smile.
The vintage Tin Can Mail Peacock Mirror stamp is one of my favorites. It was inked with VersaMark and embossed with Verdigris ep. I used Gelatos to color the image. It was fussy cut, inserting mirror paper. I used a snippet of seam binding around the handle to give dimension.
The sentiment 'True Beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul'. What an amazing thought to hold on to!
Thanks so much for stopping by and always, your comments are encouraging to me. Hope you catch your reflection in a mirror today and smile...

You have the best collection of sentiments and verses I have seen. Love this design, so thought provoking and goes beautifully with your verse! Love the borders you added to this, Susan! Phenomenal card!

Gorgeous card! Very thought provoking as usual. The treatment (colouring, embossing) of your mirror gives it lovely depth and weight. The bonus for me is seeing you literally reflected in your work. ...here's me waving at you!!! :-)

Wow! Susan this so representative of what I love about your work - original art that not only speaks but sometimes shouts. This is fabulous - the mirror is unbelievable and the sentiment is perfectly illustrated. Outstanding!

Terrific thought-provoking card...and thoughts on your part, Susan. Love how you did the mirror...gorgeous. You never make "just pretty" cards....there is always a message.
