With a theme of bright colors, I immediately knew which stamps I wanted to feature on my card. I had fallen in love with the new release --
Harlequin. To begin my card, I stamped the Harlequin on white cardstock. I just love the detailed lines of the character. I used Creative Inspirations Paints to paint the image because I thought that the shimmer would add to the bright comic look of the character. The sentiment panel behind the harlequin was first dry embossed using a brass stencil and a stylus. Then I used the brass stencil to stencil white paint over the diamonds. I stamped the sentiment on that panel. On the orange panel, I stamped the mask and some of the words from the set randomly all over. All of the layers were adhered to an ivory card base.
I hope you'll leave a comment here for a chance to win and then head over to
Chelsea's blog for the last stop on the hop. Thanks for stopping by.

Wonderful, wonderful card. Not only are the colours bright, but there is lots of texture, and a variety of techniques are used. Love it.
Your work on the clown is absolutely fabulous! Then you chose such great bright colours in your backgrounds to set it off.
That is a great image of the jester and the use of the embossed diamond background suits it perfectly.
A very fitting card for the stamp - and so many layers!
I really like the background on this card. It really makes the image pop.

It's a wonderful card down to every little detail! The colors are superb. My favorite part is the background using the stylus, brilliant coloring, and the stencil. Very pretty! The other stamps used are so full of texture in the coloring. Very innovative! Thanks for sharing.
