I chose her "The Retiring Ones" painting from this page (5th one down).
To create my card, I used 3 different stamps from Stamps by Judith and Heather and colored in the images with Copics. I added a "connector" heart charm from Michael's to the front of the barrel. I layered the image onto black textured paper, Mellow by Basic Grey, and miscellaneous DP from a Costco stack. To finish it off, I added a PTI ribbon and some large brads by Joann's Essentials.
TFL!
p.s. More pictures and deets over on my blog! Come see!
