Just a quick share today….a window card

Just posting a card that I haven’t shared yet. All the stamps are from Hero Arts.

Are you wondering of you have seen this girl before? I altered her dress… I stamped the dress several times and layered the skirt to give the dress more style and dimension. She also looks prettier with some height.

Here I played around with her side pigtails. I cut one of them off to make a bun on top of her head and then fashioned earrings out of the side buns. Have I totally confused you?
The girl on the inside of the card is the original girl with altered hair.

We just returned from vacation to New York and Philadelphia so catching up on lots of things. I hope your summer is going great. Hugs,Kathy

    Oh, Kathy, this is sooo pretty!! Love how you really think about what you stamp and not just stamp! I’m just beginning to explore this way of looking at my stamps, but I loooove it! The masking I haven’t tried yet, but love to see what I could do with it here on your card! The ‘new’ dress is so gorgeous, she looks much more like a flamenco dancer now! Yes, she’s prettier taller! Love the earrings as well! That window is gorgeous too! I’m a big fan of Hero Arts and I see I should be savinh up for some new ones again, ha ha!!!
    A fabulous day to you!

    Hugs, Wendy

    Kathy, this is amazing window card!!! The rich colors and wonderful technique, as always! Love your direction, too.
    – This card reminded me of your past card to use a bear stamp. That was also awesome window card (I’m not sure… sorry.)
    Anyhow, YOU ARE AMAZING, KATHY!
