A Muse Congratulations
I love the little Prego gal (2-3085C) from A Muse. She is just too adorable. I stamped her on Shimmery white cardstock with black Palette ink and colored her skin and hair with aqua painter and classic inks. I stamped her again on POP designer paper and paper pieced her dress. I punched the image out with the large oval punch from Stampin’ Up! and cut closely around it with my decorative scissors.
The card base is again a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of cardstock folded in half. I am stuck on 4 1/4″ square cards at the moment. The patterned paper on the top and middle is from the Gypsy BasicGrey paper pad, the bottom piece is from the POP designer paper pack Stampin’ Up! sells this month.
I stamped congrats from Amazing to Zany on whisper white cardstock and punched it out with the Window Word Punch. The faux stitching lines are stamped in black with a stamp from the set All In A Row.
Ribbon is May Arts!
