2RedBananas' Week of Peeks!

I have a combo card for you today...it's Color Dare 16 and sneak peek time for new sets from 2RedBananas! Isn't she a beauty?!

This week's colors are Sage Shadow, Rose Red, and So Saffron. Since this stamp, Flourish in Thought from 2RedBananas, illustrated by Jami Bova (along with lots of others) just arrived on Saturday, I wanted to ink her up right away, and these colors seemed like the perfect opportunity! I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black, then colored her with prismas and gamsol (this seems to be the medium of choice lately)...then, after cutting the image out with my nestabilities and Cuttlebug, I embossed the whole thing with a half-and-half combo of clear EP and Dazzling Diamonds. The edges of the card stock are inked with their corresponding colors, and pierced in different patterns to add some texture to an otherwise simple card base. I gave her wings lots of bling, and added more to the layout for good measure. This is just one of those cards that a picture doesn't do justice. She makes me think of the ministering angels that I know are there, invisible and yet as real as anything that I can see...and I'm grateful!
