Hope Card (Day 3)

Howdy folks!  I have another card with the beautiful Hope stamp by Renee LaVoie.  I have really enjoyed Renee's stamp.  My 8 year old has even enjoyed this mermaid stamp too.  I stamped the image for Kierstynne and she colored it in and made a card for her grandma in Virginia.    So Hope is getting alot of use around here.

For this card, I stamped Hope in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with colored pencils and odorless mineral spirits.  I wanted to do something different with this one, so I used Glossy Accents on her bra and tail.  I don't know if you can see it in the picture, but it's shiny like fish scales.  I used Spellbinders to cut her out.  I left the die on the image and used Broken China Distress Ink and inked around the edges.  The DP is from my stash and the cardbase is Crumb Cake by Stampin' Up.  I added some rhinestones, cause you just gotta have bling.

All in all, I think she turned out pretty cool.  Stay tuned for stamped images for the July Release over at Queen Kat Designs .
