Card Art with Copics: Crafts and Me Stamps Geraldine Meets Paris

I've recently merged two digital images using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 and I liked the results so much that I decided to give it another try.  (You can find my first merged image post here along with the 8 simple steps for merging).

This time I merged Art Deco Geraldine digital stamp with Hannah Lynn's A Walk In Paris background digital image to send a special greeting.  Here's a closer view of my Copic-filled image.

 

Bazzill cardstock is layered with Graphic45's Secret Garden Collection Coming Up Roses double-sided patterned paper to create my card.  Faux stitching provides a contrasting border.  A Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Daisy edge adds an open floral chain border along the top and bottom of my image.  Provo Craft Deckle Edge Paper Shapers decorative scissors add a torn paper look to a layer of matting around my image.

 

An EK Success Paper Shapers Scallop Photo Corner punch holds a few Studio112 Pearl Adhesive Gems.  An Offray 1/8" light orange ribbon bow accents my "Bonjour" stamped sentiment from an older Stampin' Up! Carte Postale set.

 

A few shades of orange Recollections Mulberry Paper Mini Roses lie above a Cheery Lynn Designs Mini Fanciful Flourish.  A Wrights' 3/4" white lace with pearls borders the right side of my image.

 

The inside of the card is left blank for me to write a personal note.

 

Here's a view of the front of my card showing how I've used my merged images . . .
