Paris Collage Card

Hi everyone!
Today I want to share a collage card with you called Paris.

The base card is epic black in neenah linen cardstock (my favorite black of all time!).  I matted a gold glossy to my base card which was embossed. 

The three pieces of glittered embellishment were actually cut form a scrapbook paper from DCWV.  They were actually from one design.  I cut them apart and layered them with the Pris picture layered with mounting tape.

I love the stick pin accents here.  I used mounting tape behind the Paris picture so all I had to do was to stick the pins in the mounting tape.  Works perfectly! 
I used a dusty rose satin ribbon to accent which coordinates with the pink roses in the lower left.

I added a gold edging to the Paris card.  Because the entire piece is glittered, the gold shows off the rough edges giving it kind of a faux foil look.  I also like the way it is a mat looking gold which contrasts with the shiny gold mat behind it.

Here you can see a clearer picture of the gold edging and also the pink roses.

Lope you liked my Paris card!  Come back for more card ideas and inspiration!

Two Valentine Cards!

Hi everyone!

As promised, I am sharing another two Valentine cards with you.  I hope that you can use the designs for other cards too.

My first card is quite plain.  I bought a Martha Stewart heart punch and wanted to do some cards with it.  The finished punch is really pretty but is large at about 1.5 x 1.5 inches.
I decorated the bottom of my card by punching a border design and then using the holes as guides and filling them with bling and pearls.  Cool, huh?

 I used the design of the punched border to thread a deep pink satin ribbon through.  To get the ribbon evenly on the front of my card I started by putting my bow in the middle of the card and threading left and right from the center.

Doily Card

I really like doilies.  And I like using them on my cards. Doilies really give a delicate feminine feel to any card they are used on.  Think about flowers or snowflakes.

Thanks for stopping by!
