The Art of Being Beautiful

Afternoon all,

Here is a little something using my gorgeous The Art of Being Beautiful plate by Stampsmith. I think it has a bit of the olde worlde feel to it, don't you?

No special techs today. I spent yesterday collecting furniture from town...which now has to go back because it is not what I ordered! We also had a new computer to set up, so that basically sucked up all the time for the day. The new computer has now been taken home by the youngsters and I have my computer desk, modem and printer back.

Afternoon all,

I am working with monochromatics this week, it appears. I know the background paper looks white which would preclude it being monochromatic (but it is really a very pale, pale green).

This card is simple but pretty and I so love working with photo art stamps. This particular one had been previously unloved and uninked, but now its plight has been rectified. Hope you like it!
