Card and Envelope

Card Sketch #105

     I just received these Lili of the Valley Trio stamps, which are perfect for this sketch. They are called "Vintage Motor Trio". The rear end of an old jalopy on the envelope is an old die of Tim Holtz. I used the front end on the inside of the card. The little black polka dots on the front of the card, fell out of the large gear and onto the card. Happy accident!!!

Spotlight on Daffodils

     I'm trying a technique that I have seen many times, but never attempted myself. It isn't hard and is definitely self-explanatory. 
     The stamp used for this set is from Gina K's "Sending Love". I popped it onto Carta Bella paper (Old World Travel) and matted it on Gina K's "Prickly Pear". The image was stamped using Tuxedo Black and distressed with Vintage Photo. The embellishments are four tan brads that were amazingly close in color to the Prickly Pear CS. 

 

     I used Copics to color the image: Y04,08,38. YG25,67.
