My Cards and Tags: True to Herself

I was totally sucked in to Julie Nutting's art style when I first saw it, so I was excited when she released her stamp line (via Prima) so that all of us could easily create some classy ladies!  Here's a card I made using one of her amazing mixed media girl stamps:


I made the dress out of fabric scraps and added some Washi tape to the background for even more visual interest.  I also used chalk to color in the girl's skin and hair and rosy cheeks.  All the paper I used is from a collection by DCWV called, "The Primrose Stack."  I dig the romantic pastels and soft images it has.


Lastly, I finished off the card with a great sentiment stamp from Unity Stamp Company ("She remained true to herself").  I love that saying because it reminds me to live up to whatever I hold most dear and to not waste energy trying to be someone else.  Not easy, but so vital!
