I'm in Lava with You

I couldn't let that cute little lava lamp image from the new Heartily Yours set from Gina K Designs sit uninked any longer! Like I said earlier this week, I've had an almost life-long fascination with these things, so it had to be done.

The lava lamp image is stamped in black ink and colored with Copic markers in shades of pink and red (even though my own prized lava lamp is a pretty blue). To get a glass-like look for the lamp, I stamped the image again on a scrap of acetate using StazOn, then cut it out and attached it to the colored image.

I paired the lamp with Gina K's new Lipstick Red and Innocent Pink cardstocks.The coordinating sentiment is stamped in black and layered on a pink mat. I added a folded pink ribbon underneath the sentiment as a simple accent. A strip of SU!'s retired Riding Hood Red Prints Series designer paper runs across the paper. I attached a paper pierced pink strip on the bottom of the striped paper and did a little more paper piercing around one edge of the image panel. I think I'm in lava . . .
