My 5x7 card features Andrea Norris' pretty pensive Coffee Break digital stamp.
Colored with Blue tone Copic Markers, I die cut an enlarged image to make a close up of this lovely stamp.
More of my Great Aunt's 1930's vintage lace was used. It always makes me feel close to her using her sewing stash from long ago. How nice it was the perfect color for my card! Of course, I could not pass up adding a little glitter to the sentiment and leaves.

ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful. I love how you did her hair. Love Dawn x
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Amazing!! LOVE so very much the monochromatic aqua tones you used, the old lace and the dp background, as well the shape on witch you stamped and the fan border all around!! The touches of glitter look amazing! Certainly a very well deserved GD!!!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I love that you did it all monochromatic with several of your special touches to make it even prettier. The lace is so lovely. When I was clearing out my ribbon I saved quite a few trims, particularly some very pretty lace. Thank you so much for the awesome sentiments! I'll save them and then print up a few for card insides. Congrats on your guest spot, Donna!
ReplyDeleteStunning, Donna! I love the blues you chose. Lovely image and you featured her perfectly on that background paper. Beautiful lace and the glitter on the flower is such a nice touch. Love the border framing the image. I've just completed a card for the DAK challenge but it'll never hold a candle to this one of yours. Now, time for a DT hat - Thanks so much for supporting our "Anything Goes" challenge at QKR Stampede this week. Good luck.
