The skies aren't so gray today so I've calmed down...and so has today's art. This is an anniversary card I made for an aunt & uncle who will be celebrating their 50th on Valentine's Day. I was one of the flower girls and still have my white velveteen dress with the red bow, red & white heart-shaped head piece and white muff.
Out of all the 2010 new stamp releases from Hero Arts this was my favorite. I was inspired by the card Gerrie Johnnic, a fellow TechniqueJunkie, made using the image. My background is Distressed Inks and the image was stamped using them as well. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch, ribbons unknown. A bit of Stickles on the butterfly and scattered on the grasses finishes off the piece. I have quite a few ideas for this stamp running around in my head. Sure hope they turn out as pleasing as this one.

ReplyDeleteI lost my first posted comment...oh well...I love this card, Susan. I agree, this stamp is one of my favs from Hero Arts new stuff. I saw it on the Hero Arts blog hop a couple of weeks ago. Someone did it with white Staz On on acetate for a card cover. Very cool. Your card looks great with the distress inks. I love earthy stuff!
