Therapy is not cheap - so we craft! LOL! Today I needed to do some serious crafting and get everything up across the dining room table and on every possible bench top available - a rare event was happening - I had the whole house to myself for a few hours....
I decided to use the stamp set Dreams de Jour that my DH brought for me well over 18 months ago and I have only used it once - so I thought I would 'ink this baby up!' The background cardstock has been embossed with the Stampin' Up folder Vintage Wallpaper - I am loving this folder - gorgeous! My friend Ann introduced me to inking the folder before running it through the Cuttlebug - what a great technique - it is so effective!!
I coloured the image with my SU Chalks and then cut it out with a circle punch and popped it up onto a scalloped circle with foam tape.
Some gorgeous satin ribbon from my dear friend Sabrina (aka okimom2girlz) was added and the bow made using my trusty 'Bow Easy'. To finish off I added a flower through the centre of the bow and Vintage Corners with pearls.
Thank you for looking and for your lovely comments, both here and on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com

Ditto to what Pat said. This is beautiful! I love that ef technique - I tried it once and it didn't look anything like this but after seeing this, I will try it again. That bow and ribbon are awesome too.
