Bliss

 Hello and welcome.  Today has not been a good day for me health wise, mentally and physically.  I'm trying to focus on something else to keep from panicking, but I'm having a hard time with it.  So with that in mind, I'm sharing only a quick and easy card made using a digital set I've had for some time and just never used called Bliss from The Cat's Pajamas.  I really love this set since I'm an avid reader.  Although I do love digital stamps, I really prefer reading actual books not digital ones using a pad/nook etc due to my migraine issues.

I started out by combining the image and saying in a watermark program then printed it onto Hammermill white card stock.  After coloring it using both prismacolor and copic markers, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz Walnut Stain distress ink around the edges using a blender brush from Picket Fence Studios.  After layering and adding to an espresso card with scrap designer paper, I added some faux brads (made my own) using a MS glue pen before adding some primas with copper highlights. As a final touch, I used Ranger Glossy Accents.
