The subject of this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge was tattoos. I prefer my ink on my fingers and my stamps rather than on my body, thank you very much, but I thought a rose would make a nice tattoo, so I created this card. I used the current Card Patterns sketch (#162) for the layout
The stamp is one I picked up at a stamp show in a bargain bin. It's inked in Memento black and colored with pencils. The ribbon is from a grab bag of stuff I bought at a stamping consignment sale on Saturday; the ribbon is from Elements, and someone on SCS pointed out it looks kind of thorny.
Instead of the buttons the Card Patterns sketch showed in the lower left corner, I just did a little paper piercing, because I didn't want to clutter the card too much, and I do like this image a lot; didn't want to take attention away from it.
Rubber stamping, stamping, papercrafting and other projects from a writer by trade, stamper by passion.
