Just saying Hello

I recieved the Scallop Background stamp from the HA last Monday as my HM prize. - Actually I thought to get this gorgeous stamp. So, I made this image on a clear board - I want to create it to be an album in the future. But I'm gonna hang this on a wall for a while. - to say a 'Big Thank You!' to the Hero Arts.

4/9に頂いたHonorable Mentionの賞品が先週月曜日にヒーローアーツ社より届きましたので、そのスタンプを使ってちょっと遊んでみました。
以前から、とても気になるものの、使いこなせるか否かで購入を躊躇していた素敵なバックグラウンドスタンプとエンベリッシュメント（ジェムストーン）を頂いて、どちらも持っていなかったので、とてもHappyです♪

This is a closeup view.

The Scallop Background was stamped with VersaMagic Sage, Distress inks Peeled Paint and Black Soot by Ranger.
The small elephant was stamped with Brilliance Graphite Back, and put the VersaMark Dazzle Champagne a little. And then, I did clear embossing on it several times to make epoxy-like embellishment.
*This clear embossing method to make epoxy-like embellishment is the way of Ms.Jennifer McGuire showed us the fantastic card with how-to on HA blog on April 20th, 2009.
