Little Black Dress

Here is another card I did for Virtual Stamp Night/ Weekend. The challenge was called Little Black Dress. The main images had to be stamped on black card stock.



I created this card using my Baroque Motifs set. I stamped the flourish and the medallion with white craft ink and then embossed with white embossing powder. Then I cut out the medallion and put a rhinestone brad (earring) in the center of it. I used some retired organdy ribbon to finish the whole thing off. Normally I would not leave my embossing so messy, but the challenge limits you to 45 minutes so I did not have time to go back and do it again.



My inspiration came from this card by Kitty. If you are not part of the SCS Fan Club you will not be able to see the original card. When I first saw this card I put it in my favorites and intended to do it in red. But when I saw the challenge I knew it would work perfect. I may still do it in red though.

Circle Card

Creative title... ehhh?



Last night on Splitcoast Stampers they had several challenges going on for Virtual Stamp Night/Weekend. The first challenge was to create a circle card (representing your circle of friends) and there was a sketch attached. The hard part was sticking to the sketch for me. That and getting a photo. My card kept rolling off. Notice my strategically placed felt flowers, they are not just there for looks people!


Here is what I came up with. I used my new Embrace Life set. I water-colored it using my Aqua Painter and inkpads. I also used a felt flower from my new Flower Fusion Kit. I love the texture that they add. Oh and I used my culuzzle to cut out the circle.

Oh, and I could not find a "miss you" stamp that I liked with this image or I would have used it because all of my friends are in Tennessee and I miss them all! "HI, FRIENDS!"
