LIFE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL....ON YOU

I know... I've used Beautiful You again, but I have used a few other stamp sets to make this card.  

An unusual shaped card for me this time but that's just how it evolved.

Can I let you into a little secret as to how it became square - I actually used the reverse side of my pack of Serene Scenery DSP.  Its white and shiny and deserves to be used rather than thrown away - how's that for getting the most out of your products!  It has produced a lovely shimmery look to the card but does need a little bit longer to dry.

I've also added the dots from Painter's Palette and the reeds from Wetlands and the little Butterfly stamp with some Basic Pearls.  I had some of the cardstock left which I had inked so I used this to punch out the butterfly and edged it with Chocolate Chip.




I used Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz for the inked background - rubbing the inks over the cardstock with an ink dauber.

The image of the girl was inked in Crushed Curry and just left without extra colouring.


 Craft Stamper challenge for January is Anything Goes so I'm going to add this into their challenge.
