World Card Making Day Today!

I'm lovin working in my art/craft room! That Curtain Call Box using the Cricut Art Deco Cartridge gave me more ideas. When I cut the fabulous 1920's car (Car 2 page 31) at 3" and place it in front of the or landscapes by Sheena Douglass' collections, I get a whole new card series.

I'm so ready for World Card-Making Day! I could work on these all day, such fun! Are you ready??

French Café Cards

A couple of months ago, I noticed Sheena Douglass’ French Collection on the Crafterscompanion.blogspot.com. I fell in love with the two sets “A Little Bit Scenic,” the French 50’s Café and Provence. There are so many combinations you can make using these in creating vintage scenes.

The owner of the local scrapbook store, Gingham Buttons 2 here in Palm Coast, Florida, ordered the 2 set bundle for me. The picture above is my take of a card I saw online using these lovely stamps! I gave it to a cousin as a gift and she plans to frame it!

I had a great time designing cards using a varied color scheme. I used, Stazon jet black to stamp my images and colored them with Tombow watercolor markers and blended the colors with my water brush.

 After showing them off back at the store, I discovered I could further embellish these cards using Flower-Soft. This product gives my cards some texture and dimension. Check this out at www.Flower-Soft.com. To give a 3D effect I place some of my fussy cut images on pop dots.
