Here's a stunning image from Sweet Pea stamp's artist Merdith Dillman. She comes from Plate #98. She's just amazing. I colored her in reds with a light tan highlights. I had some beautiful printed paper from American Crafts that went perfect with the coloring. That turned this card into a love theme card.I used some sparkly cardstock behind the image, but could have also taken some plain cardstock and used some spritz on it to make the background sparkly. Then I added some beautiful roses and a chipboard heart. I added some transparent decor that say "you & me" and will give this card to my husband for our upcoming anniversary.
Here's a close up of the image I added a very light hint of blue on the feathers of the wings to give the shading but to still keep the coloring very light and airy. I think this close up also lets you see some of the shimmer on the background paper that is very visible when you see the actual card in person.

Oh how stunning! I really love this card. (Then again, I pretty much love all your cards.) This is an amazing image whick of course your coloring of it is what really makes it stand out. I noticed you mentioning Sweet Pea Stamps and Sher mentioned them too so I went there last week. I won't tell you how much I spent but I can't wait until they come. (When my DH saw it in the check book he asked me what it was and I told him and blamed it on Sher...LOL). I just hope I can do them some justice and make cards as beautiful as you do.
