What a girl wants

Simple black and white card today - my two favourite colors.

I used black die cut for the mannquin and added a vellum dress. I stamped on the vellum using white brilliance ink pad. I used black cardstock strip to add belt and then a small black flower on the belt and rhinestones for the necklace.

I then used embossing punch to emboss row of flowers down the side of the card and added a dot of glitter in the centres.

I stamped the words using black brilliance directly onto the front of the card.

Style - Stamping on vellum

A simple card today but one that I think is simply stylish.....Couldn't help that comment - sorry.

On today's card I have stamped onto vellum. I find the ideal ink pads for stamping on vellum are Brilliance. It dries quickly. Do try taking the white brilliance and stamping onto white/clear vellum - it gives a stunning effect.

Materials: cream cardstock, gold vellum, black cardstock, measurement scrapbook paper, buttons, sticker alphabet, Dress stamp by Impression Obsession, Black Brilliance ink pad.

Method: Fold cream cardstock to make DL card. Use black brilliance ink pad to stamp onto the gold vellum and then mount the dress onto black cardstock. Take a strip of the measurement scrapbook paper and apply it to the cardfront as shown and then attach the stamped image. Attach buttons and alphabet stickers spelling out the word Style.

On the Catwalk

Good grief it's Friday again and less than a month till Christmas.

You will be happy to know that I dug out a load of cards this week and photographed them all so that I have enough stuff to load till about Easter next year. Now its just to find the time to load it. Always interesting I find to look at cards you have made in the past as maybe like me your styles change. I seem to go through stages with my cardmaking although looking back the one constant thing is the Rhinestones.

Today's card uses a stamp from "The Angel Company" that looks like she has stepped straight off the catwalk. The words on the card are a stamp by Impression Obsession .

Materials: Black cardstock, white cardstock, red cardstock, pattern red scrapbook paper, woman stamp by TAC, Word stamp by Impression Obsession, Clear embossing ink pad, red embossing powder, black brilliance ink pad, radiant pearls, black fibers, handbag charm and a couple of red rhinestones of course.

Method: Fold A4 black cardstock to make top fold card. Take clear embossing ink pad and stamp words on rhs of card as shown and emboss with red embossing powder. Attach strip of red scrapbook paper to lhs of cardfront. Stamp woman image using black brilliance ink pad onto white cardstock and color in using radiant pearls. Attach to black and then red cardstock and then wind black wool around the image as shown and attach to cardfront. Attach rhinestones and handbag.

Have a great weekend everyone.
