Here is a little about the Stamping Boutique
I'm Tracey Malnofski, the artist and owner of The Stamping Boutique. My team and I are very happy to sponsor Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge. My store has been open since September 2009.I am currently a stamp artist for Unity Stamp Co. and I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack in the past. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed. "The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

I chose to use "Heart Breaker"

Here is my design team inspirational piece

The base layer is a pale blue paper with some delish designer papers from Grimsby Crafts (I spotted these new additions to the stock their and just had to have them for this weeks creation, they are shades of browns and creams with a hint of green and whilst buying them just had to have some of this lace too.  The sentiment is computer generated and both image and sentiment are edged with Tim Holtz peeled paint distress ink, I also added some gold liquid pearls both are available at the Secret Crafter Shop

The image is coloured in with copics a white gel pen to highlight and a gold gel pen for the hearts.

I am entering this creation into the following challenges

Charisma Cardz - Valentine or Love

Fab N Funky - Use a digi
