The secret of getting ahead!

I found this quote from Mark Twain
" The secret of getting ahead is getting started"


Here is a card I made using that quote........



I made this card using two stampotique stamps that I bought at the weekend from Art from the Heart in Harrogate, Yorkshire, UK. This is the first time I have purchased this make of stamps, I have seen them used in magazines but have not found a shop selling them until this weekend! When I found the huge array of them in the shop, it took me ages to choose which ones I could buy, as there was such a fabulous range! My purchase made,I just had to try them out today! I would love to own more they stamp just perfect ....

Here is a few step by step photos so you can see how I made this card.












Once the background was dry I stamped the images onto white card and coloured them with Prisma pencils and blended them with blending fluid and blending stubs then, cut them out. I typed the quote and cut it out.






I then put the card together...... And here is my first card using the Stampotique rubber stamps !



I think I will link it to the stampotique designers challenge design team call, you can find out more by going to ........

Although I have had lots of my work published....
It would be a great opportunity for me to move out of my comfort zone, and challenge myself, if they feel they can give me a chance! They are lovely stamps and I highly recommend you pop over there and have a look :)
