Congratulations Linda (abbysmom219 on being this weeks featured stamped. Your gallery is new to me. I loved looking through your lovely works of art. Here is the card that inspired me Note to Self
I used the same stamp (Inspired by Nature), kept it a CAS card. I used a butterfly instead of a button, used ribbon and a tag instead of string and flower embellishments.
I used today's CAS colours (brown, green, white or ivory)
I coloured the back of the Inspired by Nature stamp with acrylic paints and stamped onto water colour paper. Cut out with spellbinder die, kept the die in place and sponged around the edges. Next I stamped over top with the Sanded backgrounder with vintage sepia ink. Added the butterfly, ribbon, tag and bow. Image is popped up.
Note: I DID NOT SEW ON MY CARD
Thanks for looking,
hugs. Pat
