Medieval

I have this cling stamp of old medieval playing cards. I've been working on a card with it for some time now (sometimes my muse takes a vacation!)

Close Up!

I love adding leaf ribbon to my card.  It's one of my favorite ribbons. (gold and silver!! And white - to color with!!)

I added a few pink paper flowers to my vine for additional detail. And I added washi tape around th edges (the beige music pattern).

I added a brass heart charm.

I stamped and embossed in gold and then colored some of the images with Distress Markers.

I hope you enjoyed my card - stop by again!

I really wanted to do a more three dimensional card today.  I chose to do a punch teechnique for a three dimensional embellishment on my card. I don't normally work in 5 x 6 1/2 inch sizes but today's card is that.  It gives little more room for some larger designs.

I took a martha stewart heart punch and punched out four hearts.  I folded these four hearts in half.  I each half to the next half on the back sides of the hearts and there it was a three dimensional heart.  (You can make ornaments to hang inside windows on your cards or just to hang...think Christmas)

Close Up!
Here is a close up of the punched heart. I like the lattice because it gives my heart an airy feel and its not overpowering on my card.

THis is an acrylic crystal.  I used blue wire and wrapped the crystal and then attached to my card with two holes I made with a paper piercer.  I added some curly pieces too.

The flag pole is a fancy toothpick.  The words are from Tim Holtz word stickers.  I used Distress Stain in Dusty Concord on the whole toothpick (also on the words) and Tarnished Brass on the top. 

Did you notice the gold filigree?  This is one of Frantic Stamper's new dies.  Its really pretty!

Thanks for stopping by~!
