Romance is in the air - still

Welcome

Thank you for visiting - I am very quiet at the moment as there is a lot going on behind the scenes here, and creativity is somewhat lacking... 

This is my card for the mid-month reminder for We Love Stamping where the theme this month is Romance, and what is more romantic than a newly engaged couple?


I had fun colouring this couple using my Polychromo pencils, and was pleased with the result.
I love her giant 'diamond' on her paw :) (This is one of my very early stamps, think over 20 yrs)


The sentiment is a positively ancient one, that was very cheap - one of my first stamp purchases, and here I have gold embossed it


After colouring I masked off the bears and stamped the hearts (an equally old stamp) with Versa mark ink, the brushed pink perfect pearls over them


A dab of Glossy Accents on their noses for a wee bit of shine - can't let the ring take all the glory


A stipe of gold tape down the inside, to match the gold layering behind the feature panel


And a matching gold stripe on the envelope.

Sometimes the older stamps are the best stamps. This teddy bear stamp is the cutest. The coloring is great and I love the ring on the paw. Amazing.
