Yellow!

Hi there!

This is the last of the Beautiful Ladies cards I will post.  I feel it's time to move on to some different stamps. 

For this card I made a 14 cm white square card.  The background I created using the Martha Stewart punch around the page and edge punch, the flowers too were made with a Martha Stewart punch.

Imagine Lady

I made a 14.5 cm square card using pale cream card.  I stamped the Beautiful Lady from Creative Expressions set using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and coloured the image using Promarkers gold, maroon and cornflower and blush for the skin tone, matting it onto black card and mounting it using foam pads. The background paper is from Kate Night free papers out of Cardmaking and Papercraft. 

Stamping Tips

Hi bloggers!

I have just added my first new page, have a look and see what you think. 

Slowly but surely I am finding my way round this blog.  I have never been what I would call a 'techy' (if that's a word!?) person and this is all unchartered territory.  But I have to admit that I am loving the learning and I would recommend it to everyone.

Please feel free to leave suggestions if I am making some glaring errors! 

 

Three Ladies

This is the second card I have made from the Creative Expressions range of stamps. They are large stamps and I had use foam mount to get a good image but they are very versatile.

For this card used A4 white pearl card, scored in half. I stamped the Beautiful Ladies image with black versa mark and embossed with clear embossing powder.

I used the Stamps Away embossing powder which gave a really detailed and glossy image.

The papers are again from the freebies offered by the magazine Simply Homemade. The sentiment comes from a bumper selection from Dawn Bibby that I bought some time ago from QVC. Spellbinders labels gave me the shape for the sentiment. I coloured the flower and leaves using promarkers Soft Green and Maroon and finished it off with some ribbon and gems.

Face and Feathers

My first post - yay! I broke the habit of a lifetime with this card and used stamps that I had just received in the post. Usually I drool over them for a while and then they get put in my 'stash' to use at a later date. How come that later date never seems to come round?!

Anyway, a little bit of info about this card for you ...

I used an A5 scalloped card, the papers are freebies from the magazine Simply Homemade, I have inked the edges. I used stamps from Creative Expressions Beautiful Ladies and Art Nouveau Ladies. The matts were made with spellbinders labels dies, the border is also a spellbinders. The face was stamped in black and embossed with clear embossing power. The feathers were also stamped in black and embossed, then I used ink pads to colour the feathers and cut round them. To finish off I have added some gems and a sentiment also from the Creative Expressions Beautiful Ladies.
