walk with courage...

 Hello friends!  I'm popping in today to share a project I made with a newly released stamp set from Jane Davenport for Spellbinders called Walk With Courage.   This set has images of two women created in a stylized manner, as well as the sentiment and a few other smaller images.   This card definitely made me think of those strong women I know who are walking with courage right now.   I decided to do some simple watercoloring with the image and it turned into a bit of disaster so I started over and heat embossed the image using gold embossing powder.  I pulled out some ephemera pieces from the Spellbinders July 2020 card kit called Vintage Mementos.  The butterfly I used in the layout is a soft yellow so I went with that color for her dress, shoe and hair.  I used distress ink in scattered straw for the coloring.   Once the image was dry I trimmed it down and adhered it to a card base.  I heat embossed the sentiment walk with courage in the same gold embossing powder on vellum and trimmed out the circle.  I then spent some time arranging the sentiment strip and the butterfly to find an arrangement that I liked.   It turns out that my arrangement is somewhat similar to the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch so I will be posting her over there.  I really like how this turned out.  Now to determine who I will send this to in the future!  I will be back later in the week with another card using a new Jane Davenport stamp set so stay tuned!
