Be Yourself!

Today's little project is an Artist Trading Card created using Third Coast Rubber Stamps and the scraps still laying on my workspace from a week ago - love when that happens!! The Gear Corner just about spans the bottom edge of the ATC perfectly - who knew!! The Pretty Corset is just adorable and I can think of so many ways I want to use it that it was hard choosing just one!  Be sure to check out all of the gorgeous inspirational design team ideas on the Third Coast Coterie blog!

I was going to use the sentiment "I am perfect just as I am" but space was an issue so I grabbed my stamp positioner and found a sentiment that I could "bend" around the corner.  The top corners are pieces of an edge punch that I cut up, glued onto the corners, trimmed them to fit and outlined them with the fine tip of a Distress Marker.  The gear corner and corset have been stamped on matching patterned paper, cut out and adhered into place.  The corset and pearls have been colored with Copic markers.  If you would like to trade ATC's, please leave a comment letting me know and I'll draw a name at noon AST on September 7th!
