A Story To Be Told
Happy New Year to you all! Come and join in with the new challenge over at Lavinia Stamps; this month the theme is “A Story to be Told”. I’m sure we all have a story or two following Christmas and the New Year! I hope my card “Timeless Beauty” helps to encourage and inspire you to join in this month’s Challenge. Audrey Hepburn once said “for beautiful eyes look for the good in others, for beautiful lips speak only words kindness, and for poise walk with the knowledge you are never alone.” Alura is a beautiful stamp to colour; once you start you’ll be amazed at the details you will find. She truly is a timeless beauty! I have also used Whimsical Wisp and the wonderful See a Fairy script in the background. Firstly, I used a white wax crayon to create the white highlights on Alura once she had been stamped in Clair Nocturne (Versafine black). The white crayon acts as a resist for the ink. Don’t worry if the wax marks look dirty or makes the ink look like it’s smudged.
