Today was such a fun day for me... I got to stamp several cards! This card is for today's WT184, to use silhouettes, and also fits dirty girl's setp. central theme challenge CT0908- use lots of color, and Product and Materials focus- Sponging with Ink.
I stamped this image in VersaMark and embossed in black on an unknown parchment looking marbled paper in a soft yellow tone. I then sponged So Saffron all around the center of where I wanted my sun, and radiating out from that. I masked the sun with a sticky circle, then went out a ways with Regal Rose, then bordering blue, then blue bayou. On the bottom, I sponged Always Artichoke. These colors on the marbled base I began with were a perfect match for Groovy Guava and Blue Bayou so I matted with them, and mounted on a GPW base. I used my cuttlebug to emboss the florals on each side, and stamped the sentiment from "My Heart Stamps for you" in Blue Bayou.
I hope you like it.. and thanks for looking!

OH! This is so beautiful! Such vivid, yet soft colors and the perfect sentiment to go with the image! Love the embossed flowers and the REAL flowers in the backgrounds!
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

Oh my gosh this is yours scrappigramma2, GRACE!!! It is beautiful!! I love the sponging ink; it also slightly resembles a rainbow. I love how you did the cuttlebugged flowers on both sides too. The colors are pretty and it's neat how you photoed it on your mums. TFS
