You Are Beautiful

I was thrilled to get some of the 2021 early Hero Arts Stamp Shop Box releases from The Ink Pad (which are so super-cool they sold out but are now back in stock).  I am also thrilled to be Guest Designing at the Ink Pad Blog to share my first card.

I had lots of fun playing with the new Cut & Color Layering Flower Power Set.  There are actually 8 different layering stamps in the set.  I used them all, but you can certainly use different combinations to create lots of possibilities.

Some things I learned in my stamp layering process were to use the centers of the flowers to help you align the hair layers … and use the eyes to help align the face.  

I also re-inked the lips on that stamp with a slightly darker color for more contrast (yay for the MISTI).

I paired her gorgeous face with a background created with Karin Markers and another Gel Press Print cut with Hero Arts Nesting Dies.

I love how there was a separate stamp for the iris of the eye, so I could match them to the colors in her hair.  

To finish the design, I couldn't resist adding tiny bits of purple bling in her hair.

Who in your life needs to hear that they are beautiful?  What better way to tell them than a card they can treasure.
