A Beautiful Stamped Image,,,

One of the things that I love being a paper crafter is all the different resources that we have available to us when we are asked to make a card... and the very fact that people I know ask me to make their cards for them is always an honour! I sometimes have to remind myself that people do think that the cards/gifts that I create are good and have a bit more confidencein the items I create! (I suppose we can all use a little more at times!)
So one of my friends asked me to make a congratulations card for one of her friends daughter's who had just sat entrance exams for 3 grammar schools in the local area. She has been accepted to one and Alison wanted to send her a card her a congratulations card.
Which suits the challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge down to the ground! The Young Ones
For my card I coloured the image with my Stampin Up ink pads and an aqua brush using the colours basic grey, crumb cake and rose red. I then inked the edges of the image and mounted it in to rose red card and then again on to grey card which I also inked the edges too. In the top left hand corner I added three SU brads for detail and that little extra bling! On the card blank I added a piece of rose red card that I inked the edges too and then stamped the word 'congratulations' under where I have mounted the image in basic grey...
I hope that you like my card and I appreciate you taking the tome to visit my blog - your comments are very much appreciated - happy stampin! Debbi xxx
