The same image was stamped again onto 3 different pieces of the lovely Masterfully Made dsp. Using Scissors I cut the dress from one pattern, The belt and cuffs from another pattern and the hat from the third pattern. These pieces were then glued in place on the original image.

Using the following Blends Pens I coloured in the rest of the image – Petal Pink for the arms, 2 of the darker shades from the Naturals Collection for the hair, Crumb Cake for the railings and Berry Burst for the wine in the glass. I used a light Pool Party Blends Pen to outline the figure and blurred the edges using a Color Lifter.

I stamped the spray of grasses onto the white label in Wild Wheat ink.

The decorated label was laid onto the Wild Wheat label and I decided I didn’t like the wide border, so I got out my trimmer and trimmed off an ⅛” off all sides, much better. The two labels were then glued together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the card front using the same glue.
