Today, we are featuring "Grandma's Boudoir" stamp set:
For my card, I wanted to highlight the wonderful dog and chair image.  I did this by inking a portion of the stamp.  I colored the image with Copics then used Tim Holtz Distress inks to color the edges.  I ran the base panel through a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I completed the card by adding a piece of black lace.

Claudine (you are here)

Be sure to join us tomorrow for the 4th and final day of the blog hop!

    What a clever idea just to use the collie and the chair! And you chose the right "vintage-looking" folder for your background.

    Lovely card, beautiful shading job - this is my favorite image in the set - my neighbor has a collie and he is my furbaby's best friend and I don't have any collie stamps in my collection... yet... ;)
