Blue Velvet Collage Card

I have really been into suede paper lately.  This kind of paper can be punched and cut (or even torn) like regular cardstock but it looks and feels a bit like suede.  It does feel like suede on top.  This paper is not stiff.

I like the way this card came out. It looks like the top of someone's writing desk.

Close Up!

I couldn't resist taking some close up shots of this marvelous cameo.  It is madeomay not want to look - you'll go crazy for their variety and how pretty they are!) This one is blue with three white cherubs.

 You can really see how three-dimensional it is. (I outlined the side in gold.)

Don't you just love pen nibs?

And finally the tag!  I added the stamp and underlined with gems.

I hope you stop by Fran's to see the cameos.  They are really gorgeous!  AND try out some suede paper.  It's wonderful too!

Take care, Lis

Love Banner Card

I have these punches from Epiphany Crafts.  They come with epoxy bubbles and are used to create embellishments. I must say that I'm hooked!  I especially love the banner punch.  I cant think of many punches out there on the market that are banner punches.  And you can use these just as punches.  Very cool!

To create my banner, I started out with a pretty pink patterned paper. I added the letters and then the bubble before I punched out the banner.

I added the banner to my tag which I attached to my card with mounting tape. I added random pink pearls along the bottom punched border.

 Close Up!

Isn't this just so pretty?

I added some bakers twine in lemon yellow.

I do love pearls!

Come back soon!
