A lot of Bling by Josette

Good day! Another Tuesday installment and today I am using a stamp from the soon to be released April Release.  This stamp set is called:  Keep Calm.  The moment I saw it, I thought bling.

Again the picture doesn't do it justice.  I started out by foiling the image in gold and then glued rhinestones in various colors to all the swirls.  I added a few more to the card base.

This was matted onto a dark purple.  The mat is another foiled paper.  It was created by running the printout through the MINC.  This was then fussy cut so that words scrolled around the image.

This was then mounted onto the same purple cardstock that the mat was created from.  This is slightly smaller than an A2 as I needed to adjust the size to get the words to flow.

Here is a close up.  All of the lines are gold.  This card in person is amazing and rich.

Until next week,

A St. Patricks Card: Smiling Eyes

Josette here with another Tuesday installment.  I wanted to make a simple, easy mailable card that could be mass produced for St. Patricks Day.  I thought foiling was the ticket and since it is very popular seemed a good idea.  So I got out my designs and started to play.

I used 3 stamp sets.  Irish Eyes, Lucky Leprechaun and Bearing Gifts.  All of these are available as a Pre-order.

I used my MINC to foil the images.  Foiling on white is very hard to photograph.  the Shamrock and Happy St. Patricks Day is in free foil and all the rest is in Gold.  I matted it onto a gold mat and a Green A2 card Base.

Here is a close up. you can see the shine a bit more. I added some bling and a bow, it is ready for the mailman.

Until next week,
