So, I have one last card to share for this week using my really cool and fun Hero Arts stamps. This time with the Four Dolls clear set.
I just loved this Graphic 45 paper to with the feel of the stamped and colored dolls. I used the exact same doll and just stamped her three times, coloring each outfit a different color. Can you see the neat shading that I was able to get with the Copic Markers? And, is that border punch neat with this theme? It's my newest border punch!!! I added white dots to the flowers on their outfits using the White Slick 3-D Fashion paint by Tulip. I love how easy it is to use this product with the tiny tip it has. Each doll has a matching rhinestone in her hair.
And, now for my absolutely NEWEST stamps, my order that arrived this week from Unity. I LOVE THIS SET!!! My card fits with KWerner's Designs Color Inspiration challenge #48 for last week and it also follows the Card Pattern #9 for this week. Why not include a few challenges at once and I would have never picked this layout for a card without using that pattern!

1. The saying is stamped on the white Cryogen Curious Iridescent cardstock from Cut Cardstock.com.
2. I did emboss the frame, the words and the bird. I just like that the lines are more intense that way.
3. I did color in the border of the frame with a Copic marker.
4. I did add a generous coat of Aleene's Paper Glaze to that border and to the bird. I just love the dimension that epoxy type of coat gives.
5. Added dimension comes with using foam tape to add the frame and the bird.
6. I punched the border of three strips of the patterned paper and sanded those edges so the layers would stand out better. The pattern had three pieces of something on the card front.
