You Inspire Me *Heartfelt Creations*

Boy, Oh, Boy I love the newest stamps from Heartfelt Creations this month! I didn't follow a sketch but I was inspired by TesaB. She has beautiful work on her blog! Papers are from Free Bird by Authentique.

I stamped the image with Archival black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils, blended with OMS. I used a Spellbinder die to draw a template for cutting. The edges are inked and topped with Stickles.

The border punched piece is actually a negative from a postage stamp border punch by EK Success. I secured the bow with Glossy Accents. You can find a great assortment of Dewdrops in the Heartfelt Creations store.
