I liked the card's clean, simple lines, so I kept the layout of my version the same. I changed the stamped image and the colors used--I'm back to that blue/brown combo once again today. Why mess with what works?? I stamped the floral silhouette image from Starving Artistamps on the paint chip in Palette ink. It took a while for the ink to dry--not sure if that's how these inks normally are on paint chips or if it's just that my new ink pad is extra juicy. When it was pretty dry, I used a Stardust pen to add a tiny dot of sparkle to the ends of the asters. I replaced the punched out butterfly at the top left of the stamped panel with a simple knotted piece of dotted satin ribbon that matches the panel under the paint chip.The sentiment is stamped in the same dark brown Palette ink. I added a trio of small light blue pearls directly under the stamped sentiment. I brushed the edges of the circle in Baja Breeze ink to match the panel on the cardfront, then attached it to a scalloped circle piece. This is attached to the card with a dimensional.
And, speaking of Starving Artistamps, if you're a Doodle Factory fan like I am, Tracey has a sneak peek of some soon-to-be released images on the Starving Artistamps blog. You can check them out here.
