Hi all,
I was super chuffed to win a gorgeous stamp Set from Steph the other day .
They are from Clearly Besotted which is Stephs new venture using her sister Jennys stunning artwork. I have to say I am blown away by the quality of these stamps. They stamp beautifully giving a very fine outline ..OOOH I just love um!
I decided to have a go at a technique that I had seen on the CB facebook page by one of the super talented design team Debby Hughs were she had embossed the image in white before colouring. I will deffo be doing it again!
I used prisma color pencils to colour my image
I used my scoring board to make a lattice effect and added a touch of handstitching and a couple of heart pearls to finish.
I have no idea why but I have had a good cry making this card. It just so reminds me of my beloved Nan who passed away earlier this year. I cannot begin to explain how much I miss her :( She would have loved this card :)
Thanks for stopping by today

Sorry that you were sad, but sometimes we need to cry, especially when we miss people we love... it actually does us good. I miss my sister so much even after three and a half years... so often I find something that reminds me of her and I feel a tear coming on!
