Scent with Love.....

Hello everyone: I have a card to share with you today that put to the test my paper snipping skills, when I stamped and colored this beautiful image from Power Poppy's Spice it Up stamp set I didn't realize it was going to be so hard to fussy cut it but, I liked the way the colors looked on it and I didn't want to trash it and start over so, I braced myself, grabbed my sharp little scissors and went to work. Here is my card.

I used the sketch from CAS{E) this Sketch! which worked real good for my card.  I stamped the image using Versafine Onix Black ink, which is really a great ink for this clear stamps, onto Strathmore mixed media water color paper mainly because I ran out of my regular Canson brand and it was a good thing I didn't have it because I don't think I would have been able to fussy cut this image since the 140lb. paper is heavier, this other one is by far, thinner and easier to snip. 

I colored it with SU markers and the aqua painter adding a bit of detail to the orange and the bow with Prismacolor pencils. Once snipped I placed it on top of a die cut piece of Vellum and then, on top of a die cut piece of pattern paper from Lili of the Valley, finally I made some score lines on the opposite corner for a bit of texture.

To follow the sketch, I stamped one of the images on the SU Gorgeous Grunge and heat embossed in gold the sentiment, finally I added a bit of bling with some Rhine Stones. I hope it's not to busy for the CAS{E} this Sketch challenge, I just felt it needed some sparkle.

Here is a picture of the finished inside.

The sentiment is from the same set, the little cup of coffee is from another fabulous stamp set from Power Poppy called Merry Littles, which is my go to set for adding sweet little images to the inside of my Holiday cards.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.

Thank you for stopping by today, until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
