A fun surprise...

The little print reads:
"...and I still want to smack some people."
I recently signed up for one of Sandy Allnock's classes and she sent me a "Customer Appreciation" card and four [!!!] little sets of stamps. How cool is that?!  This is one of the images that I really liked and I immediately linked it with a sentiment from Ginger's House.  Not really a normal "thank you" card - but I wanted her to see one of the stamps as I would use it!  Hope she likes slightly edgy [read snarky] sentiments!  I've left the inside blank for a thankyou note to Sandy.  That front sentiment doesn't really fit a Thank you card - but I think it is perfect for that image!

PROCESS INVENTORY

IMAGES: 
  • "In the Bag" set from Art Impressions.
  • Sentiment is a freebie from the wonderful Ginger's House!
  • For the focal image I used Paper Tole Technique to give her dimension. Printed 3 copies, colored them with Copics, fussy cut and 'paper sculpted' the images.  The layers were both glued in some places & elevated in others with foam tape to achieve the desired dimension.
PAPER:  

  • Neenah "Classic Crest Solar White" 80# Cover Wt. used for the image.
  • DP used for the background was a loose sheet in stash.
  • Die Cut used to shape scalloped ovals are from Spellbinders.
  • Duo Glue and gold foil used on her earrings and on her cane handle and tip.
EMBELLISHMENTS: 
  • Antique gold mesh ribbon from stash.
  • Glossy Accents used  for her pince-nez and to stiffen the fussy cut cane.
INKS:
  • Images were printed on an Epson WF-3520 printer 
  • Hand colored with Copics:
    This card should be eligible for the following
