This is my card for IC502 to be inspired by the Forzieri Website. Because I saw it as an opportunity to use my perfume bottle stamp, I picked this sample to inspire me.
I stamped the bottles with Memories Black ink on a scrap of mottled ivory cardstock and colored them with a combination of distress markers and copics. I would love this display on my antique dresser.
Next I glued the scrap onto my card made of dark blue cardstock that I probably picked up at a rummage. It looked a little plain so I added Faux stitching. I have four birthdays this week that need cards, so only have three to go. I love how this turned out.

oh how cool that you had a bottles collection stamp, love the colors of yours Carol I *think* my mind always looks at inspiration with stamps I own running through the back viewer.

What a lovely card, Carol - that image is super. It's funny, even just looking at it I feel I can smell old-fashioned scents like Apple Blossom and Hungary Water. The mottled cardstock goes perfectly with the vintage look of the image.
