Happy Hump Day!!

Hope everyone is having a terrific week!  I'm so happy to share a few more projects that I created for Heartfelt Creations.  Don't forget to go see what the rest of the DT team did!  I am so impressed by the projects that everyone has created again this week!  They are all just so talented!

Directions

Stamp image on CS using Momento ink and color as directed.  Cut out entire image and shape using stylus.  Stamp roses twice, color and cut out various petals to shape and layer over main image.
Card base is Neenah CS 6 ½” x 5” folded.  Cut 2 layers of the brown cardstocks for top panel reducing the size of each piece by 1/4” per layer.  Stamp top layer with word background using Versa mark Ink. Add some perfect pearls to the image using a paint brush (a little goes a long way, pick up a little bit of the powder with your brush).  Die cut border from the die set and layer over the top panel, add a strip of the dark cardstock. Using an embossing pen add a little bit to your image, leave veins petal centers and rub in some perfect pearls with you brush.   Attach all layers to the card using your favourite adhesive.

For my second card I decided to make it simple... well at lease I tried to keep it simple.  I may have a hard time with that concept I think but here it is... see... it is fairly simple... don't you think?   Check out the product list... hardly anything... and the copic markers... again 3 colors and a little grey... that is it! and I still managed to get a wonderful depth in my image.  Prooving that you can do a lot with just a little... OK I'm still ordoring some new markers, but I don't really HAVE too... I'm just a little bit addicted to them at this point I think.
