What a wonderful Inspiration Challenge this week! The Erte Website that Peggy and Steph shared with us this week for inspiration is really gorgeous!!
I chose this beautiful bronze Arabian Nights piece. The woman reminded me of my American Arts stamps and I had this Heart Balloon image out for making Valentines.
To capture the metallic look of the piece, I embossed with Stampmania's Kettle Copper EP, colored in the balloons and dress with a red Spica glitter pen and sprayed the finished product with my brand new Spun Sugar Smooth Spritz that I picked up at CHA. It has such an amazing sparkle to it IRL, just a wonderful effect! I stamped the image twice so I could pop her dress for a little dimension.
The sentiment is from the Clear Magic Stamp set called "Janes Script", also a CHA find!
Thanks for such wonderful inspiration sight this week Stephanie!!

That's not a stamp that has ever appealed to me personally, but you've done wonders with it - I think this is fantastic. Love the warm glow and the popped-up dress.
