I used en francais BG stamp to stamp first image on glossy white paper in regal rose ink. Then I used bella toile BG stamp to stamp over it in black craft ink. I then embossed the bella toile image with clear EP. I colored in the image using reinkers and a blender pen. The image was then cut out using the top note die, the outer edge cut off, then layered over a black top note die.
The main card is a tri-fold card using black and our new DSP, Raspberry Tart as layered panels. I glued the main top note die image onto the left side of the panel and then used white tafetta ribbon tucked in between the layers of the dies and then on the right side of the right panel. These tie together to hold the card closed.
The inside of the card uses the "leftover" of the top note die with a sentiment from Full of Life stamp set.
