Isn't she gorgeous, I bought this IndigoBlu stamp (and a couple of others) at GNP on Saturday and have been itching to have some time to play, managed a couple of hours this afternoon and she had to have priority! I used Victorian Velvet and repeatedly stamped the Stampendous Garden Background onto pink card, my 'Elizabeth Bennet' was stamped onto Vellum and her face was tinted with Promarkers. I layered her onto a piece of torn pink card before placing over some dyed Muslin, unfortunately you need to look closely to see this layer, it just didn't photograph too well! The little tag, which I'd forgotten I had - its good to re-organise sometimes, was stamped with Vic. Velvet. A small bouquet of roses make this card perfect for the challenge at In the Pink which is Floral/Mothers Day. I also stamped an extra butterfly onto vellum coloured this and added using Glossy Accents - this, together with the Pearls makes the card suitable for the Heck of a Challenge - Spring/Pearls & Butterfly.
I am also entering this in:

This is such a gorgeous card! What a brilliant idea to stamp her on vellum, I like the translucent feel of it.
Gorgeous! Nearly bought that stamp, now I wish I had, was nice to see you and the others on Saturday.

She really is! And so's your card - beautiful, subtle background stamping, and the Victorian Velvet looks just beautiful. Gorgeous subtle bling in her garland headdress - just wonderful!

Adore the background, love that you have stamped Elizabeth onto vellum. Superb job Avril. Hugs, Jenny x
Hi Avril
Oooooh this is sooooo stunning... and she certainly looks like she's stepped straight from the pages of wonderful novel. Love how you've layered her too with the muslin and vellum... and the tag and flowers make for the perfect card. Oooh and of course, the tinting... which gives it the effect of a Victorian photograph..
Thanks for sharing at In The Pink... look forward to seeing you here again soon with another beautiful pink creation!
Big Hugs

Hi, popped over from In The Pink
WOW! I love what you have done with that stunning image.
Saw it when I was at GYPE and loved the image. Not being a stamper I did not buy it. Seeing this I wish I had. It is amazing the wonderful inspiration you get looking at other Blogs.
Good Luck in the challenge
