I'm really disappointed with how this card looks - despite several re-takes I can't get it any better. IRL it's so pretty.
I don't usually buy stamping magazines, but the July issue of Docrafts caught my eye at my local garden centre on Friday - mainly 'cos it came with a set of free stamps. I love FREE :-)
This is just one of the pretty, girl stamps. Isn't she gorgeous?
Can't wait to ink the next one up.
I coloured her with Copics and added some random, little dots around the image, in the same colours. I used a glitter pen for more dots and to highlight parts of her dress. These are hard to see on the photos, but very sparkly IRL.
I used a purple Copic to ink up the 'party' stamp and also to colour the pearls.

Your card is just gorgous. I can't believe that stamp was a freebie. Thanks for joining us over at Mad for Markers.
I hate when you can't capture the true beauty of a make....however this is gorgeous! What a fantastic image! Love the colors too!
You have done a fantastic job with this one Caroline and such a lovely stamp. the colours are super. I'm keeping everything crossed for you and the house. I think we have finally cracked it with ours and subject to contracts and surveyors I hope the problem is resolved.
