Star card



For those of us who enjoy the hunt for new craft supplies, I thought this might be a fun card. Both the Betty Davis image and Joan Crawford quote are from the Stampsmith. Rumour has it that they were not the best of friends, so I don't think they would really have quoted one another, but since this is my card, I get to ignore that detail. I also chose to give Bette brown eyes instead of blue in my card universe. lol She is stamped with Memories black on glossy cardstock, and coloured with water based markers and chalks. The image is edged with vintage photo distress ink. The phrase is stamped on ivory card, overstamped with a small flourish in teal and grey and mounted with other papers to make a paper ribbon. The image and phrase are mounted onto black cardstock, then decorative paper then onto black and a card base.
For those playing along with the Gingersnap Creations challenges, with the opportunity to win a stamp from the Stampsmith, good luck!


Supplies used: Bette and phrase stamps from the Stampsmith, small flourish Inque Boutique, waterbased markers, chalks, glossy cardstock, various cardstocks and papers, brads, inks
