Can you tell which stamp inspired me from the close up? It's
the 1-cent Tiffany Lamp stamp. It was released in 2008 and features artist Lou Nolan’s rendering of a Tiffany lamp. Nolan evokes the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), a designer of glass, ceramics, jewelry, enamelware, and metalwork who transformed everyday objects into works of art. Tiffany’s stained-glass lampshades glow with soft, colorful light. Considered one of the greatest designers of glass in his era, Tiffany is also remembered as a leader in the art nouveau movement.
Well how did I do? I tried to get the glowing effect of the lamp color and a little shine on the base by shading with Copic markers. I kept the background dark and clean like the stamp image and integrated a stamp die cut for my sentiment.

I've always loved that 1 cent stamp! Great take on the challenge.
Love the stamp you chose for your inspiration. You picked the perfect SS to make your card with . Beautiful work and I love the glow of light on your card!
How did you do? Fabulous! Love the shading on the beautiful lamp...it really does glow and I love that you used a postage stamp frame on your card too. Your choice of patterned paper is so elegant with the tiffany lamp, such a great choice!
I LOVE Tiffany lamps, my DH and I have a couple - not the real thing, mind you, lol! You have coloured the shade so beautifully, it really glows! And how I love that fine quote, so full of wisdom... Hugs, Ira x

Love how you found the perfect stamp for that gorgeous Tiffany lamp!! Fabulous coloring!! Yes, it glows!
This is fabulous. I can see your inspiration very clearly. I even have some of those stamps. Your coloring is really incredible--that lamp looks like it is glowing with a very warm light.
Wow, Jeanne--this is amazing! It reminds me of one of those pictures that you look at it one way & see one design and then look again & see another. I thought it was a elegant frame before I even saw the postage die. Love the pp and your beautifully colored lamp!
