Card "Galatea" by Jackie - Ambassador

 Hello there!

I used the a stamp "Galatea" from the Le Pine collection and coloured her with markers and pencils. As I knew this would be a "pink" card I gave her piercing blue eyes to contrast!  I created a card with an arched set of dies and striking Bazzill papers, I made two flowers using JND dies to complete. Just love this so much!

"have a lovely day"

 I recently saw a Youtube vid of a sweet lady using an inking technique for Altenew. I would love to credit her but alas can't find her. Please let me have a link if you have seen her. 

I used a Crafters Companion embossing folder embossed onto purple CS. I inked the flowers in navy. I lightly ran some Opal paste over the whole image.I used a gold acrylic pen and gems to highlight.I love the end result and will be using again!
