Hi Stampers
I have finally been stamping and have a card to show you. I LOVED one of the cards that was made at convention but I didn’t have the elements to create the card. I played around and used items that I had on-hand instead.
I love the grunge look but honestly have a hard time reproducing it…. but I think that is because I am a “Ruler Girl” :). For this card I used the VersaMark Marker and drew freehand lines across the bottom and top of the black card stock. I then embossed it in gold. I used Clockworks and stamped it on the “contraband” black polka dot paper and embossed it in gold. I used the BigZ Beautiful Butterfly die and ran it through the new Pretty Print Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I rubbed the VersaMark pad over the butterfly and embossed in gold. Then I punched out a small butterfly and layered it over the larger butterfly. I lightly tapped the button in the VersaMark and sprinkled gold embossing powder over the button. For the sentiment I used the “So Grateful” from “Apothecary Art”. I was originally wanting a sentiment that was small enough to go horizontally but I ended up loving how the So Grateful fills in that space and is beside the butterfly. I finished off the card with some Pool Party Bakers Twine on the top.
Well…. what do you think? I am loving the end result.
I also have one of the cards made and cut out for the Club on the 17th. 2 more projects to go. Yeh Me!. ohhh… and yes we will be making some Christmas projects.
Card – Thanksgiving
