GDT Scrapbook Stamps Society/Addicted To Stamps #3

Hiya!

I finally got around making a new card with one of the fabolus images from  

Scrapbook Stamp Society/Addicted To Stamps :)

I've used the beautiful image by the fantastic artist Mitzi Sato-Wiuff called October Rose, coloured her with Prismacolors, and made a regular standing card. 

I wanted the image to be in the spotlight of this card, so I decided to use very little embellishments this time - very unlike me :)

Regular Standing Card

Ink: Archival Ink - Jet Black, Distress Ink - Victorian Velvet.

Stamps: Scrapbook Stamp Society/Addicted To Stamps - October Rose, North Star Stamps - text.

Colouring: Prismacolor Premier Pencils.

Papers: DCWV/Maja Design - DP's, Bazzill - burgundy & ivory cardstock, copy paper 280g.

Tools: Spellbinders - Nesting Classic & Eylet Circles, Martha Stewart - Vintage Lave PATP & Glacial butterfly punch.

Embellishments: Wild Orchid Crafts - Silk Ribbon & Self Adhesive Pearls, charm.

You'll also find this card - along with lots of others from the DT - at the Addicted To Stamps Blog :)
