My great friend Debbie came to play in my craft room a few days ago and she stamped all the images from my Inkadinkado Utopiary set. I loved how she inked the oriental image using different coloured inks and I just had to have a go myself. I like to create different shaped cards from time to time and I haven't made a card like this, where an element hangs over the side, for a while. The Creamy Caramel card base measures 5 3/4" x 3 1/4". The Labels Ten shape hangs over the side but the card still fits in a C6 envelope.
I inked the stamp with various chalk ink colours and I've edged the image and sentiment ovals with Tea Dye Distress Ink. I also used this to edge the patterned paper and I also added a touch of Chocolate Chip ink. I wrapped some linen thread around the paper and then I've added a button with a gold brad centre. I layered two punched photo corners and popped up the image and sentiment ovals. I finished off by adding gold nailheads to the Labels Ten shape.

What a beautiful and unique card! I love the colors, and the way the image is inked with different color inks. And your layout! Pretty, pretty, pretty! :-)
