Gothic Lament
One of the many newer artists at Sweet Pea Stamps is Rebecca Sinz. Anyone who knows me, knows that the minute I saw this image called Gothic Lament I had to have it. The entire sheet is amazing, but this image just called to me. I have no idea the official name of the technique I used, but after stamping the image in brown ink, I spot colored it with Copics. I then spritzed the entire thing with Sugar Cookie Glimmer Mist. After it was dry, I cut it apart and then pieced it back together on some deep purple velum. I cut it out with my nesties as well as a dark brown frame. The background paper is corner pieces from a sheet of the Prima Moulin Rouge collection. This was one of those really fun to make creations that started forming in my brain and as I began just all came together perfectly. That is such a rare occasion, and I just enjoy every second of the process when it happens!

I live in Idaho with a great hubby and two sons. I love the fiber arts and papercrafts. I have started running and recently completed a FULL MARATHON. If you want a glimpse in to my life, this is the place for you. Hope you enjoy your time.
