I stamped the image and coloured it using aqua pencils, then using an xcut die, cut out the image and a larger one in Centura pearl card for matting. I then used Broken China Distress Ink, and blended a little around the edge. Next I took a pale blue piece of card slightly smaller than A5 and again blended Broken China DI around the edge of that, working it into the centre a bit more. I then place some royal blur ribbon across the centre and some corners, cut from a Cherry Lyn die, onto the corners. Finally I place all of this onto an A5 white card base. I've decided at this point not to put a sentiment on the card, as it will go into my store cupboard, but looking at it I think it will make an ideal retirement card.
Thank you for taking the time to look.

Beautiful card and I can see how the photo made you think of those stamps - what a shame they've been uninked until now but I'm sue they will come out again. This is a set I don't have ...yet!!
Hi Sue - Wowzer ! Gorgeous card, I love the image and what a great match with the photo inspiration. Awesome work with the colouring and design. Glad to hear that you have blue skies today :) We are enjoying great weather as well. Enjoy ! Shirleyx
The photo is gorgeous, and so is your card Sue. I love those stamps from Chocolate Baroque, as Italy is my favourite holiday destination. We are off again there this year! I loved working with these stamps as a DT member, and the crackle stamp from the set is always sneaking into my projects. I love your 'blue' treatment of this image, it's lovely and fresh. It would make a fabulous retirement card. The white border frames the image perfectly. Thanks so much for joinning in Forgotten Friday this week, Judith xx
