I was so excited to see this challenge because I have had a Hero Arts stamp that I’ve wanted to show off… like forever!
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - “A Cameo Appearance”
And here is what was in my mind (the cameo being this women’s face, of course)
Oh my, where do I even begin on this one. I used so many things. The basic stamp for HER is from Hero Arts. The other stamps are mostly a mix of Studio G.
I stamped and embossed her, gave her some lipstick too! The umbrella is constructed of my husband’s cast off guitar strings while the rain drops are glossy accents.
Thanks for visiting me!
WOW! This card is a complete work of genius in my opinion! What a fantastic idea to create an umbrella (with guitar strings, no less) and then have it protecting the lovely lady from the storm. I adored how you made raindrops out of Glossy Accents! The embossing gives her such great depth and dimension and she's perfect- right down to her sparkly lipstick! I love the color palette and the quote, too. Stunning piece and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog!
