Punched elegance.

The last offering from Septembers training.  This card shows off the new punch that is coming our way next week.  It will make some smashing borders for both cards and scrapbook pages but it can be used in so many other ways too.  The stamps are Everything Eleanor again and I just adore the way the flower works so well with the flourish as a stem.

Rock and roll...

...that's the technique used to create the two tone effect on the flower stamp.  Come to one of my classes or book a home workshop and I will show you exactly how easy it is to achieve.  Again the stamps are from Everything Eleanor and the background was run through the Bigshot in the polka dot embossing folder.  The sentiment stamps are from another new set Petite Pairs, coming soon!

Tones of mocha

I do love the colour combinations of this card, another we made at team training last week.  I think the chocolate, coffee and cream tones will be a trend for me over the coming months.  As before, the stamp set is Everything Eleanor.  The flourish on the background is inked in Early espresso.  The greeting is set off by adding a single rhinestone.  I think this design could be used for a number of occasions simply by changing the sentiment.

Sneak Peek! Shhhh!!

Today I have a card to share that we made at team training last week.  We used a stamp set that is from the new catalogue, released on 1 October so you are getting a sneek peek of a product that isn't yet available to buy but not long to wait thank goodness! The base card is made using the large scallop circle die in the Bigshot, the colour is Wisteria Wonder, one of the new In-colours for 2011-13 isn't it gorjuss!!!  We embossed it, again using the bigshot, and dusted over the embossing with shimmer paint which gives it a gorgeous lustre.  The stamps are from the new catalogue too, called Everything Eleanor.  I think I will be getting a lot of use from this set.
