Anatasia

Here's a lovely lady card using a digital stamp from Make It Crafty named Anatasia and stunning shimmery papers from Paper Temptress.  I chose to go with pink and oranges for summertime when I colored up this image using Copic Markers so I wanted to pick the most beautiful papers to go with her.

I chose the base of the card to be a heavy mica cardstock in pink that's called Azalea.  The colored border and diecut corners that I am using are also a wonderful shimmer paper that's printed in an orange and yellow pattern.  This paper is from Hambly Studio Screenprints.  It's called Retro Rectangles.  Though you can't really tell the design here, it gives a wonderful bright pop of orange and yellow color.  If you are like me and do a lot of cards, esp staying at the 6x6" size and smaller, a great set is the 6x6" precut pieces which give a bigger variety of the papers already cut down (click here).  The white cardstock here is Neenah Solar White Classic Crest.  I chose that for this image because I was running it through my printer for printing, the Neenah cardstock runs through the printer easily and colors with Copics great.
