Luxury Layers

 This is a bit of a departure for me, not my usual style of card at all.  The black base card has been run through the big shot in a polka dot embossing folder then I layered different pieces of Love Letter designer paper (now retired) together with a sash of striped grosgrain ribbon.  I stamped the medallion from Artistic Etchings and layered it onto a scallop punched circle, which I had daubed with silver shimmer paint.  A touch of bling from some rhinestones and voila!

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.
