Tia's Tips: If you don't have character stamps in your supply, you are missing out! It is worthwhile to have a versatile collection of stamps and digital stamps. Although skin and hair can be a challenge to color, it is one worth undertaking. Having a collection of images of men, women, children & grandparents to color and model after your recipient is the very essence of a personalized card and that is after all...what cardmaking is at it's best!

Krista Smith Stamps is sponsoring us at Passionate Paper Creations and Friends FB community this weekend. The selection of stamps available is amazing! Thinking about doing a little shopping then you will want to join Passionate Paper Creations and Friends before so you can grab that discount code to use in her Etsy store linked above.
The Project:
It is a great pleasure to have the talented Krista Smith and her beautiful illustrations to color. Her talents know no limits and this current image "Tattoo" shows it. It is an image you will find from no other artists and thus makes for creative and beautiful cards.
In searching for pattern paper to compliment this image I stumbled upon my collection of cards from "Project Life". Oh what a happy coincidence it was! I found not only a gorgeous rose pattern background to go with the rose tattoo, but also a beautiful sentiment to match.
I fancy cut my focal image and die cut black cardstock drawing the eye further toward my image. As the original image ends mid-leg, I assisted that transition with ribbon.
