Life is a story

Here's an awesome image that was given by East Wind this month.  I am totally loving this artist's stamps!  I recently bought several, so you will be seeing more and more cards using these images, esp of Lucy Loo.  They are having a challenge to include a ribbon, so I added one on this card today. I cut the base of it and attached it to the card with ribbon glue to make it look like washi tape. This gorgeous stamp is called Belle of the Ball.  All of the cardstock on this card is from Paper Temptress.
I am using an A6 sized card here with Flame Mica as a shimmery base of the card.  The image is printed on Neenah solar white and then colored with copic markers.  I then layered it on Flame with a die cut frame  made from a wonderful yellow that has a stunning sparkle in it called Mangue. The bottom border is three layers of papers, red incandescent (rosso), black ruche, and flame mica that has been embossed.

I am entering this card for the East Wind Challenge, to include some ribbon.  I also added a sentiment from Cosmo Crickett "Your Life is a story, make it good."

Project Materials:  Cardstock (Paper Temptress); Image (The East Wind); Die Cuts (Spellbinders Nestabilities); Ink (Colorbox Chalk); Ribbon (Heidi grace); Embossing (Cuttlebug); Color (Copic markers); Adhesives (Popdots, Glue all, Glue dots, Ribbon Glue, Staples);
