This is my card for Sharon's Friday Challenge. This week she issued the call to create a card with a modern feel - Stamp Simply #71 - A Modern Edge. For the Quote I stamped on white then masked everything but the small boxes with "ART" I just added a little color, then I masked only the boxes and airbrushed the remaining portion while it was still in the Nestie die. The background is from a new set from Papertrey Ink, I stamped randomly and colored with Copics. The glossy paper I used as my card base was actually a mailer-- a four page fold out brochure from the Bellagio (wanting me to come lose my money to them), when I saw it... I knew it was destined for the craft room. The little silver jewels are not smooth but faceted like silver studs and I stuck them in between the scallops of the Nestie. I added a little ribbon and slider to complete the card. Wa-laaa. Done.
