Inspirational #109 Heartfelt Thanks

Mary Anne hosts the Red Rubber Inspirational #109 this week with a theme of Heartfelt Thanks.  I decided to do a flip card with Thank You on the front and the message on the flip side.  I've used Tree Silhouettes in a Versamark resist on glossy cardstock for the flip-it part.  The sentiment is from I Heart You.  Both are Red Rubber Designs stamp sets.

Imagine by Pickled Potpourri

Today I'm featuring one of the vintage collage images from Pickled Potpourri, Imagine.  This is from a by-gone era, but I love the pretty dress and the mirror.  I colored the image with Copic markers and put a frame of florals around her.  The background is embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder.  I thought it looked similar to the bricks in the image.  

Come on over to Pickled Potpourri and see the wonderful digital images available.

Inspirational #108 Get Extra Inky

Get Extra Inky is the Red Rubber Inspirational #108 theme hosted by Drea.  The idea is to use two or more inks on the rubber stamp.  I decided to stamp some of the Pressed Flowers by Red Rubber Designs with multiple colors of inks on the stamps.  For the flowers I used Yellow, Orange, and Red from Marvy Matchables.  For the leaves I used Jungle Green and Pine Green from Marvy Matchables.  I inked up the stamp with the lighter colors first and then touched the edges with the darker colors.

 

 Here is another angle looking at the card.
