Heartfelt wishes
The stamp I have used today is one of the newer ones from ching chou kuik called one and only heart from plate 68. I used burgundy distress ink for the image's background and coloured the image with promarkers. The girl is coloured in several red hues as there are no good that matched the papers. The colours I used were: ivory and blush for skin, dusky rose, ruby, burnt orange, burgundy, burnt umber, coral for dress and hair.
It's a quite simple card, but I like the monochromatic look and didn't want to overpower the image. Although I think a flower or a bow might have made it better. It's almost like something is missing, but I can't figure out what. The things I do like with this card is that I finally inked the background of the image and didn't leave it white like I usually do.
She is luscious. I adore the burnt red colors used. Perfect for someone you love!
