Happy Thursday everyone. Just one more work day and the weekend is here and I've got a long one planned. Yep 3 days of vacation next week. Can't wait. Not going anywhere, but have lots to do around the house. I'm finally getting some sheet rock repair done and am planning to spend some time getting my stamp room in order. At least that's the plan.
For now, I have a new card to showcase. This beautiful image is one drawn by Anne Fenton over at
The Outlawz. She and Sandi come up with the lovliest images and then give them to us for FREE every other Sunday. All we have to do is create a card with an image and post it on their website.
I wanted this to have really rich, dark looking roses so I started out with a darker red Copic marker. But first, I printed the image on Papertrey White cardstock and cut it out with Nestabilities Labels 18, the largest size. I didn't have a larger one to mat it with, so I outlined it on the Stampin Up Creamy Caramel c/s and then cut it out by hand. I also used SU Creamy Caramel as my base for the card and adhered a layer of SU Cherry Cobbler. The DP is from Basic Gray's Kissing Booth collection. Love it! Then I put a large doily over that which I distressed with the SU Cherry Cobbler ink and layered another strip from the Kissing Booth collection and then put my main image layer over that.
I love this sentiment stamp set from
My Favorite Things and this one just seemed to be the right one to use. It just seemed to be an abundance of joy and happiness. I just got these new
paper flowers from 7kidscollegefund. I think they are so beautiful and, of course, I had to get them in a variety of colors. The leaf spray is from my Nestabilities Foliage die.
Copics used were: B0000; E02, E04, E07, E08; E21, E23, E25; G12, G14, G16; R37, R39, R59; W5 and W7.
