Lovely Lady in Rust

Hi Smithies!
I wanted to share this romantic card with you.  I used one of the ladies from the Belinda and Friends Full Sheet.    I stamped in a dark rusty colored ink (Siena Archival) and used lots of rust colored DP's.

I added a touch of yellow for a soft contrast.  See the full post on my blog, Dreaming and Creating.

Folded Tag Card with Belinda's Friends

Hi Smithies,
I wanted to share a fun project I made with a large tag die cut and one of the lovelies from the Belinda and Friends full sheet.  The image was stamped with Coffee Archival ink on glossy white CS.

See the full post on my blog, Dreaming and Creating.  Hope you are having a great day!

Hello Everyone
Today I would like to share a DT sample where I made use of a beautiful stamp from the Belinda and Friends plate.

I stamped the image directly onto some script paper which gives a slightly more muted appearance to the image compared to if it were stamped onto glossy cardstock.

An old book cover was used as the base of this hanging layering up vintage book text, dyed lace and trims and anything else that was to hand.
We are now past the half-way mark for the October Stampsmith Challenge With Gratitude. We welcome your entries to this challenge whether you make a card, tag or altered art, anything goes but please remember to include at least one Stampsmith stamp on your entry.
Wishes

Belinda's Friend for Stampsmith Card Swap

Hi Smithies,
All of us Smithies have been having a great time over on the Yahoo group participating in some swaps.  The most recent is a card swap.  My card went to fellow Design Team Mate Julie.  I am pretty sure she has received her card by now.  If not, Julie, look away now!!!  I used one of the four images that come on the Belinda and Friends Full Sheet.  I stamped the image with archival ink on glossy white CS.  I used some Ranger Distress Crackle Paint on some of the elements.
