This week's colors come from Sarah Anderson
Light blue, Ivory and deep blue. I immediately thought of china. The beautiful china that has a lovely patina from years of use. That was my inspiration for my card.
I pulled out my Memory Box Antique Damask stamp and inked it up with Memento Summer Sky and then stamped it across the front of the card. I repeated with the Versafine Majestic Blue to give it a lovely shadowy effect.
The border is punched using a lovely large scallop from EK Success border punch.
The main image is stamped from Impression Obsession Rose Stem from Alesa Bakers Designs. I colored it using my watercolor pencils. I stamped this inside a lovely stamped image from Fiskars. The background is stamped using the Hero Arts artistic windows and the light blue dye ink. The die cut shape is from Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 8.
Take a peek at all the other design team members, you won't be disappointed.

ReplyDeleteSue, I need to swallow a dictionery to find some new words to describe how wonderful I think your work is. This card is totally stunning! I particularly like how you've stamped the script on the bottom Nestie layer and how you've combined the different shaped dies so beautifully.
