This stamp, once on the retired list for Flourishes is making a comeback!
My mission was to create a kind of antique look. I stamped it on a piece of decorative paper from the Annalee collection using Versamark ink. I embossed with gold detail embossing powder and then began to color! I used Copics and picked up Y21, to shade, R27 and R59 for the berries and word Rejoice and then YG95 and YG99 for my leaves. Pretty easy peasy!
For the background, I knew I wanted a kind of regal feel, so I used gold embossing powder again with the Vintage Wallpaper background stamp. After that... mat it up, add some gold leaf edging, some bling for the corner and a gold ribbon and... done!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Love this Julie! It so rocks and I'm CASEing it when it comes back out. I saw all of your beautiful cards today but this one really caught my eye. Awesome gold embossing.
