I Believe!

Welcome to April's Artistic Outpost Blog Hop!  It is all about Women and or Flowers and just in time for Mother's Day!  My lovely teammates have plenty of inspiration to share, so be sure to stop by and have a treat!  Gerrie, Lisa, Sue, Tracy, Linda, Alison, Terry (Me), Kate.
For my tribute to "woman," I decided to go with the Flapper Fashions and Quotes and Quotables as focal point.  Both were stamped using Black Archival and the lovely Flapper was colored with sponge applicators using Tattered Rose and Spun Sugar.  Don't you just love the power in Believing?
The backgrounds were created using a swirly floral from Birds of a Feather, first stamped with Tattered Rose to cover the entire white background and then in a random fashion using Spun Sugar.  For the sentiment, I decide to add splatters by thinning out Tattered Rose and Spun Sugar reinkers, using an old toothbrush.  I will be linking this up to Simon Says Stamp and Show - Background.
There is still plenty of time to join in the "Anything Goes" April Referral Program using those AO stamps.  Thank you for stopping by today's blog hop and I hope you have a wonderful day and remember to "Believe."

Stamps:  Artistic Outpost, Flapper Fashions, Quotes and Quotables, Birds of A Feather

    What a truly wonderful card and sentiment Terry. The background stamp you have chosen provides the perfect backdrop to this wonderful lady and each line of the sentiment is a celebration of womanhood. Love it.

    I am not really a pink kind of girl but you card is beautiful. The soft, pink background flourishes draw the attention to the image and quote. Very pretty.

    Terry..your card is so pretty. I love the pink background. The black matting really sets off the pink and your stamping in black. Love your sweet vintage lady image. And, I have that set of Artistic Outpost Quotable Quotes...it's a good one! This sentiment is perfect for your card.
