Pretty in Purple... featuring Rachel Anderson



I LOVE Rachel Anderson's stamps. LOVE them... like I LOVE ice cream and that is saying something! For my card, I used this image From Rachel Anderson's sheet 2 plate 111. I stamped the image onto watercolor paper with black Stazon ink.Then I used ink from the top of my ink pads and a water brush to water color her.I embossed the paper she is mounted on and sponged it with a darker purple for contrast. And as far as the shadowbox effect that my image is in? Simple... i used my dies to cut out my finished image. Then i used the next larger size die to cut the red paper and used a smaller die to create a frame I used dimensional tape to life the frame for the shadow box look. EASY... and a really nice look. I had the ribbon in my humongous ribbon stash and I thought it matched pretty good! thanks for stopping in and don't forget to have a look at the Sweet Pea Stamps page for some great deals on some amazing stamps!
