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.

Visit Sweet Stamps to view the other soon to be released stamps and they are on Sale!!!

Until next week,
Happy Crafting,
Josette

Happy Wedding Day

Hi everyone! It's Leslie, guest designing for SweetStamps during the month of August, and I'm back today to share with you my inspiration project for the SweetStamps Bling challenge! I'm so happy to be here! What girl doesn't just love bling?! Come play with us!

I used the Antique Bride stamp as the focal image on the front of my card, embossed on vellum and mounted on some very pretty oval die cuts. The Happy Wedding Day sentiment stamp decorates the inside. Medium and dark shades of salmon were used on her wedding dress, and I carried those colors to the front and inside of the card. I used gemstones, pearls and a wedding rings charm for the bling! For details, please see my full blog post at Love To Scrap!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you've been inspired to create a pretty project with lots of bling for this SweetStamps challenge! Have an awesome day! ;)
Hugs,
Leslie
