Day #3: Catherine Scanlon New Release and Daily Giveaway Week

Hello!
Welcome to Day #3 of Catherine Scanlon New Release and Daily Giveaway Week here at my blog!

I'm not going to chat a lot today...Because I'm really excited to share a card that I created with a fabulous and scrumptious stamp ...with you!

This Strawberry Cake stamp is the fabulous (and scrumptious) stamp that I used to create today's card...and you can find it, along with  lots of other fabulous Catherine Scanlon Designs stamps,  HERE, at the Art Gone Wild web site

I had THE BEST time creating this card!

I started by stamping the Strawberry Cake image on Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth card stock (My fave for Copic and PanPastel and pencil coloring)
Next, I chose the Copic colors that I wanted to use to color the image...mostly browns and red...and a few greens for the berry tops.
I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink...and began coloring.
When the coloring was as I wanted it to be I used a mini scallop rectangle die to cut out the image piece.
Next, I chose the matting layers.
I always forget that I have a nice stash of glitter paper...but this time...I remembered!!...
And so I chose a beautiful red glitter for one mat and chocolate brown for the other mat layer.
I put the card together...positioning the image piece with fun foam for added dimension.
I loved the stamp when I first saw it in the package...
But when the card was done...I REALLY loved this stamped image....a lot!

The red strawberries...the bold red glitter...and the deep brown tones of the cake all come together nicely, I think.
(I'm so glad that I remembered that I had a stash of glitter card stock!)

This stamp and this card makes me smile.
(I'm not sure that I want to send it to anyone...I might have to keep it...forever
Better yet...I think that I need to make a stack of this card so that I can happily send and share them with others.

I hope that this beautiful and scrumptious stamp and card have inspired you today!
