Lady in Red

Annie’s Ink-Lings





I've dreamed of visiting Venice, but the reality is that the closest I'll ever get is with the Venice background stamp I've used for my Lady in Red card.  I love how her bright red dress and umbrella just pop on that background.   I saw a similar card on Pinterest and decided that this was exactly what I needed to make for one of my friends at church who was having a health issue.  She was a bit discouraged and I thought perhaps this would be an encouragement to her that better days were to come.  This is a clean and simple card with just a bit of fussy cutting.  The design can be used for an assortment of occasions just by changing the sentiment.  So take a look and then give it a go.
