I used the watercolor crayon technique I mentioned in yesterday's post, coloring directly onto the stamp - in this case, the gorgeous Hero Arts Starburst Lace. Do any of you recognize the words I stamped?
It's from a letter Beethoven wrote to his "immortal beloved". But are any of you Sex and the City fans?? So here's the deal - I have a couple movies that I've watched, or at least listened to, about 50 gazillion times now because I put them in while I'm stamping. The first Sex and the City movie is one of them. And I just loooove when Big whispers this Beethoven quote to Carrie at the end - *sigh*. So I've been itching to put it onto a card, and I figured with Valentine's coming up, THIS was the card! :-) I stamped out the words with the Typewriter Letters set from Hero Arts. The little felt bird that I added was a recent dollar bin find at Michael's, it makes me happy.
So here's the gorgeous inspiration from Ruby this week! Such a gorgeous flower.
