Welcome.
Meet today's card.
I just picked up this great image from I Brake for Stamps from the set called The Old and New and wanted to get a chance to play with it. It's such a wonderful, iconic image and I wanted it to shine on my card.
I began by die-cutting some heavy white cardstock using the Wonky Frame die. I masked the edges to contain the image to the framed area, then placed it into my Misti and stamped. I added the sentiment....it just seemed to go perfectly with the image.
Next, I looked through all my 'hoarded' backgrounds and found this one.
I had created it by inking up a piece of heavy white cardstock with some DOX inks, then stenciled over it with some black ink. It is very dramatic looking and I thought it would work great with this image.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Here is the stencil I used from A Colorful Life Designs called Lace Doily

Such an iconic image Karen and Audrey Hepburn was such an elegant lady and the beautiful stencilled and inked background complements the image amd makes a very stylish finished look. x
