Someday ....... My Prince WILL Come!

And today's featured stamp is.....

FANCY NANCY!

(I'm not too sure why Andrea named her that....only Andrea knows for sure.....)

When Andrea drew her I asked for a banner that could be added over her head because I thought she might make a GREAT Greek Sorority stamp...just color her in any sorority's colors, add the Greek Letters and/or name to the banner and there you have it!

She also looks like she is wishing on a star, so the wish could be added... like I did below "Someday My Prince Will Come"  ...probably should have said "your Prince" ...oh well...

Yesterday I created some background papers to go with the colored version we have of her.  I took a couple of the colored stones from Andrea's colored version then stacked and duplicate until I had a good background.  Then of course there are dots and stripes (my personal favorite!)

The really cool part using the colored version of the stamp is that the background papers are an EXACT MATCH!  I used the eyedropper function of my software that allows me to select any color from an image and use it somewhere else....so I did that.  Hummmmm.... now I'm thinking I might should have made the stripes gray from the stone.... or pink AND gray.  Funny what you can see AFTER you do something!

Another cool thing is, they are all on one 8.5 x 11 page so they can all be printed at one time, then cut any way you want to.  I used layers and then punched the polka dots into several circles, crinkled them by hand, then layered them to make a flower.  I use one 1 3/8" circle and two 1" circles. 

OR!  I could have cut the page in half, folded one half and had a printed card w/ different fronts and backs, then used the other half for the layering... lots of options here!

Tomorrow I'll show another stamp I came up with using that stone background. 

That's it!  Hope you guys have a great day!
