Victoriana - Victorian Cards: Mirror and Gloves Card

Good morning and Happy Saturday!  Yea!  This is the first Saturday Ive had off in a while!  I love my job but sometimes it can get busy!

Today's card has a Victorian feel to it.  I call it my Mirror and Gloves Card!

The mirror and gloves come from Accucut dies (love them!).  I wanted to add a bit of steampunk so I stamped a clock theme onto my gloves and added the green jeweled brad to the mirror.



This side view really shows off this card, don't you think?  The shear blue ribbon adds to the overall color's scheme.



Close up!

I love using pearls on my cards, especially this one! 


Hope you liked my card. Come back again for more Victorian creations!

Asian Influence Cards - Pearl and Dragon Card

Hi everyone and welcome to the last of my Asian Influence cards: the Pearl and Dragon Card.

I made this card from a deck of cards!  I used a triangle punch and punched out the various designs you see below, matted them on black cardstock and then added them to my card.  The deck of cards that I used are from http://www.franticstamper.com/. This is a great deck because although the backs of the cards are the same, the fronts of the cards are all different.  They are truly beautiful.



I added a gold edged embossed white cardstock background.  I embellished my card with white pearls and a gold dragon.


Close up!

I used three different sizes of pearls for this decoration.




Here is a closer view of the designs I used.  I used two decks: one had paintings and one had people.



Here is the golden dragon!
