I LOVE that classy Audrey Hepburn themed stamp set!  I wanted to keep it CAS and allow that sentiment and silhouette to speak for themselves!  I stamped Audrey’s signature updo and unmistakeable eyes onto white cardstock with intense black ink and then stamped the sentiment with versamark and heat-embossed it with silver sparkle embossing powder.  I trimmed the panel and adhered it to the Audrey Blue cardstock included in the kit and added a few gemstones to her tiara for a little extra sparkle!  Simple but gorgeous!
