background stamp by Judikins, dotted border. Sentiment by S.U sincere salutations.
Thought this was a bit busy so I stamped it again leaving it plainer and with cooler colours.
it's the tiny little dotted circle but I can see I'm going to use it a lot! ......................but I didn't like the colours so much :0)
So I've decided to go with my first attempt, I know, it's just typical, for example when you're shopping and in the first shop you find exactly what you need but refuse to buy it because you'll probably find something so much better further down the street........and eventually go back to the shop to buy it because there is nothing like it anywhere you've been:0)
I used Distress Ink, Antique Linen to define the centre and for stamping the design around the border and Copics to colour the image.
I was so pleased to receive this award from Kay at Kay's Crafty Corner

I really like how you used the distress ink to define the center frame around the image. Very good idea! I like the first card better - the colors are very nice. Maybe would have tried putting the birthday sentiment inside. That's the olny 'busy' part I see. Great cards.
Loving both these cards and especially your main stamp, its gorgeous. Annette x
Oh. Wow! Your cards are just fantastic. Talk about totally rockin' a challenge!
Fab job and thanks for playing along with OLW47

beautifully elegant stamps, and gorgeous inking.
Stunning!
Gorgeous cards - I really like them both and that is such a great stamp! Jo x
Lovely card, such a graceful lady. I agree, I do prefer the colours of the first card but that spot border on the second is great (I have just discovered Waltzing Mouse stamps, they're fab).
Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog, the washing machine has been put to use straight away lol. X
Oooh I've got this stamp, love how you just part of the image - thanks for the inspiration.

What a great image! I like the more subtle stamping on the frame the best. It makes that lovely lady take the stage!
Wow, what a lovely stamp! I love the way you used it and those dots on the border are perfect. I agree, the first version is better but only because I've got the first one to compare to the second. ;)
I love that stamp...and the way you colored and shaded it looks FAB!!
Oh wow! Super cards! Beautiful stamp and simply awesome coloring! :)
Oh my - your cards are lovely! Thanks for visiting!
What a beautiful image!! What amazing cards!! Both bgs are wonderful, they each add a different look to "the lady"...sweet!!
Your cards are just beautiful !!! Oh not heard of these stamps off to check them out !!! I truly love that image !!!
I love this card! It is so stylish. They are both great, but I like the background on the second one best. Beautiful.
I think these are both such lovely cards - the lady is so very elegant!! However I prefer the second of your two cards - I think it's the blue that does it for me! And the slightly softer border. Fab cards!
