The stamp is a Michael Powell image, stamped using a black Momento





ink pad on to super smooth card. I then coloured the image using Promarkers. I then mounted the image on dark green Bazil Basics card and gold mirri card. I use photo glue most of the time for my flat images as it allows movement until your happy with your placement. I finished the card with some self adhesive jewels and some paper flowers. I used this card to announce our new address. 













This is another image stamped with black momento ink on to super smooth card. I then coloured the image using promarkers. I mounted the card on to blue Bazil Basics then on to gold mirri. The back ground paper was free with a papercraft magazine I think it is from hot off the press. I finished the card with some pearl gems. this card was also used to announce my new address.  .
