Here's a birthday card I created for my Mom who is blind. I make all of her cards touchy-feely so she can enjoy them.
I die cut the cardstock and left the die on while I colored the background using pink and blue COPICs and the COPIC Airbrush System. I then stamped the image with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
I wanted a kind of soft, dreamy, watercolor looking background so after removing the die I used the *side* of a COPIC Sketch Marker's clear blending brush and rolled it around being careful not to go over onto the white edge. I really like how it came out.
Lastly, I dotted the flower with glue and sprinkled with white Flower Soft. It looks very lacy. I hope it holds up to my Mom's handling
I layered the image with lilac cardstock, then onto a flocked designer paper and finally onto a lilac cardbase. I added a silk bow, in keeping with the soft look, and a small tag for the sentiment. I sponged some blue dye ink on the small tag and layered it onto a lilac tag.
Thank you for looking and I hope my card helps to inspire you to stamp soon

You have many beautiful cards in your gallery, Cindy. This one is my favorite. It is amazingly beautiful and made from the heart. I know it is a card from 12 years ago but needed to tell you how beautiful it is. Fav'd
