I love Magouille's gallery - so beautiful! She does a lot of mixed media-type stuff, and I am NOT that girl, so I went significantly simpler for my card. It was inspired by THIS ONE from Magouille's gallery. I liked the text background, the dress, and the colors. I printed the gorgeous digital stamp onto some Prima paper. Rather than sponging and stenciling, I wanted to just add some soft color. I used some shimmery eyeshadow as chalk. I wanted the flowers to stand out a bit more, so I used a Versamarker on the flowers and leaves so they would grab more of the chalk. I used a stipple tool and two colors of ink to stipple around the edges (it's a little more subtle than sponging). A couple of mats and I was done! This is a graduation card for one of my nieces. Inside it says "So proud of the woman you are becoming". Thanks for looking!

Fabulous card, Sue! Your color palette is stunning and I love that you allowed those bits of text peek out even across the focal image.

I am always learning something on here. I would have never thought of printing out a digi on some dsp. This image is a beautiful one and is a wonderful card for your niece. Thanks for the details of how you created this beauty.
