Something a little more Vintage

Hi Everyone,

It's been another very warm day on the Sunshine Coast here, above average temps and extremely humid.  The predicted storms building are not due until tomorrow.  Once again it was an air-con day.

Today's card is a little different to my regular style.  I've used a Vintage background stamp called Postcard which I've overstamped for a collage effect with En Francais background stamp and Peaceful Petals.  


The greeting used here is from the set called Blooming with Kindness.  The cardstock used here is Basic Black, Regal Rose and Whisper White.  I've made a small rosette to add to the card plus a little crochet trim, some pearls and a little butterfly from the Beautiful Wings die.  The Regal rose card has been embossed with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder which has been inked with Crumb Cake on the inside.  Here is the closeup.


I've used blender pens to pick up the ink and colour the flowers. 

Thanks very much for calling in to see my card.  Have a lovely day.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
