Has anyone else ever bought a stamp because you really, really love it and then struggle to actually use it when you get it home?
Well the image on the following card is one such stamp, so I decided that I needed to experiment more with it until I feel comfortable.
The following is what I came up with:
Image: Stampendous! P091 "Beaded Bodice"
Backing Paper: Pink Petticoat
Martha Stewart Punch: Doily Lace
Neocolor II Water-soluble Wax Pastels
Laura Ashley Satin Ribbon Stickers with Gliter "Love Song-Harmony"
Self adhesive Pearls
Inkssentials Glossy Accents
Flowers and Ribbon from my lovely lady at our local market
I feel I still need to experiment more with this image but at least it has had another airing today.
Happy Monday everyone.
Thanks for calling by.
Love Jules xx

gorgeous! My sister has this stamp, and I have coveted it for a long time! Think what you have done with it is brill, love the black lace detail down the side of the card works well with how you have coloured the image. Just Lush!!!
Beautiful <3 But I can imagine that this is a difficult one to use - it's not what you'd call your-general-happy-birthday-stamp ^_^

Oh Jules, what a gorgeous result, love the way it really stands out. Well done with love and hugs Shirleyxxxxx
Yup.. do that all the time! But you've done a bang up job with this, Jules. Love the way the colours of the corset pick up the colours of the rosbeuds! Excellent!

This is gorgeous Jules! Great job with the stamp...I wouldn't know what to do with it...:)
Gosh Jules, I bought that stamp years ago, think I may have used it one but wouldn't have a clue where it is now. Under a couple of inches of dust no doubt. Love your card though and I know peeps used to pleat some netting as a skirt to this stamp, dpnt know if that will help you.

This is beautiful card, I can see why you fell in love with the stamp. Aren't markets great places to find great trims and trinkets!
By the way, the sock was navyish. The little boy was five so not a very big sock..........still no sign of it though.

I so know what you mean about this stamp Jules, it's been in my stash for ages and I've only used it a couple of times! You've made a gorgeous card with it though, will have to dig mine out and give it another try. Hugs, Nicki
