Hi everyone!
Happy 2014!
I'm sharing a project created using Rick St Dennis fabulous image called Valentine Hat

Image was colored with Prisma Coloring Pencils. 
Used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to add that vintage feeling. I also used Worn Lipstick Distress Ink over the paper doily, love the contrast with the designer paper. Finished the card with some gorgeous crinkled ribbon and bow. Added some hat pins (I made them!).
You can find this and many more images in Rick St Dennis Zibbet Store.
Do you enjoy rubber stamps??
We have great news, Rick St. Dennis Images are now rubber stamps and you can find them at I Break for Stamps and Smeared Ink.
