Give you rest.

"Come to me
all who are weary
and heavy laden
and I will give you rest. ~Matthew 11.28"

All stamps are from Rubbernecker Stamp Company.

The base background was "Antique Lace" stamped off/kissed onto "Horizontal Chevrons" then stamped onto the paper.

I also sponged Frayed Burlap ink over some punched lace (Martha Stewart Punch).
Finally I stamped the a stamp from the "Lace Border Set" and "Lace Circle" to complete the background.

The diecut circle (picot edge circle) was stamped with "Sleeping Beauty".

Tip: to ink the edges of the intricate die cut (Tim Holtz/Sizzix) I used a cotton swab.

Ballet and Lace

Rubbernecker Stamps came out with some new ballet themed stamps.  While I don't dance... someone who I love does. (Hi, daughter from another mother ;) ) So they needed to  come to my house to play.

One of my favorite parts of the ballet, is the costumes!  Satin, Lace and Tulle!  All of which were the inspiration for this card.

Details:

• Stamps: Ballet Dancer, Lace Netting, Lace Square, Lace Border Set, and Flora Damask background stamps all from Rubbernecker Stamps;
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Adirondack shell pink and salmon die ink pads; Versamark;
• Paper: Bazzill cardstock; Bristol Smooth paper;
• Accessories: White embossing powder; Copic Markers, Stickles glitter glue; ribbon; hole punch; EK Success border punch; foam tape;

To bring out the lace detail the lace border and square stamps were stamped with Versamark on white cardstock, heat embossed with white embossing powder, then sponged with shell pink and salmon ink. To sponge ink use the Inkssentials blending tool and sponge.

Thanks for stopping to take a look!
