Stamped Elegant Lady Card

Hi Bloggers,

Today I’d like to show you a card I made using the gorgeous “Elizabeth Bennet” stamp by IndigoBlu.

I started off by randomly stamping Honeycomb and Crackleglaze background onto the base card (6” square). Then I added Fran-tage glitter glass in black to the edges. This glitter glass is STUNNING!! The glitter chunks are quite large and add so much texture.

Then I cut a 5.25” mat from white card, using the Cricut Elegant Edges cartridge (I also cut the matching shadow from black card). I stamped the “Elizabeth Bennet” image onto the centre of the white mat and coloured the flowers, butterfly, bird and leaves with Promarkers.

The tag is cut from white card using the Cricut Wrap It Up cartridge and stamped with a greeting from a Personal Impressions set. I added Fran-tage glitter glass around the edges.

The flower is from the Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge and the branches are a Martha Stewart punch (I really must stop using these on all my projects!!).

I tried to take some of the photographs in sunlight in the hope that it would better show the effect of the glitter glass.

Thanks for stopping by.

Spread Your Wings Card

Hi Bloggers,

Today I’d like to share a leaving card that I made for a colleague at work.

I chose a Kraft card for the background that had a grid pattern on it. Then I stamped a honeycomb pattern randomly in two opposite corners.

I used a Fran-tage Embossing Enamel to create the molten gold effect – my current obsession!!!

The large mat is cut at 7” using the Cricut Elegant Edges cartridge and I used the same Fran-tage Embossing Enamel around the edges.

The cogs were cut at 2” from the Cricut Paper Lace 2 cartridge. I covered one with Distress Embossing Powder (love the texture!) and the other with the Fran-tage Embossing Enamel sprinkled with Fran-tage Glass Glitter in Champagne. As the enamel melts, the glitter becomes embedded and the enamel acts as glue – it’s gorgeous!

The main image is made using 3 stamps. First, I stamped the dress. Then I masked it and stamped both the wings.

I used Promarkers to colour the image and sprinkled Fran-tage Embossing Enamel on the skirt.

The text is made using tiny letter stamps.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.
