Hello bloggers, Sunday is over and here is Monday... kids off to school and I am on the computer... it is 11 am as I write this post to you all lovely bloggers out there. I hope you had a nice weekend. We went to an amazing Italian restaurant called Tuscano yesterday for lunch and I do think it was by far the best Italian cuisine I have ever had. I think it beat the food in Rome!!! Now to this card - Sandra had sent me these very lovely stamps some time ago for Zeenya (who is going through an off-craft phase - sad, sad, sad). So I decided to make use of these awesome stamps. I stamped the image on creamy beige multi shaded cardstock. I coloured in a few elements of the image with Sakura gold along with Uniball coppery silver pen instead of using traditional colours. It looks quite nice in real life unlike the picture which is rather bland. The picture does looks better on zooming in though... I have used gold cord on the side to finish it off and also faux tiny gems here and there to make it look more lively. Have a nice Monday! Lots of love, Monica |

Hello Monica . Love going out to lunches .
That image is quite a pretty one and I think your colour touches are just right . The tiny gems add that bit of sparkle too.

Like the way you have added the glitter elements. Using the shiny cord is such a good idea.
Keep crafting
