Featured Stamper

Well now....if you are visiting me via the Stamp-n-Doodle website, you will know that I am their Featured Stamper this week!

This card could almost be a follow up to my previous challenge entry, which was a wedding card. Now we have what could be either another wedding card, or in my case, an anniversary card.

I have used their sweet image 'Spring Love', colouring it with Prisma pencils, adding some chalk for the background, glitter pen highlights, and micro-beads for the flower centres.

Designer paper from Basic Grey provides the flowery backdrop, and a corner punch provides a little interest....and then there is the paper lace frame. The cutting file I used can be found at Monica's Creative Room, a site where a lovely lady provides a number of these fancy designs for free.

You may notice I added glitter around the inside of the frame, and a number of pearls and gems here and there. The sentiment was computer generated and then cut out with my Nestibilities die. A bit of green sheer ribbon added the final touch.

I do hope you have enjoyed this post, and be sure to follow the different links for further inspiration.

This card is for my nephew's wedding, and I used the free Stamp-n-Doodle image offered for their current challenge, Lavender and Lace. Rather than actual lace, I cut a lacy mat for the image, and paper pierced a lacy pattern in the corners of the lavender paper. The image and the lacy mat are both attached with pop-dots, while the ribbon and gems give further dimension. Most of the image was painted using water colour pencils, but the red roses were coloured using Tombow markers.
