An 18th card..glitzy... and glorious.
I made this card for my mum. I wanted something different. um loved it. The colour combination was bold and beautiful xx
I don't duplicate cards but this is a variation of the theme. i loved the pink ribbon and the wooden Eiffel tower which I covered in Distress embossing powder...the lace I dyed with Distress stain. The corset is a stamp . This card took a while to make but I enjoyed the result.
this card was fun to make. this stamp was a present ..a friend bought it off e-bay and thought it was "just me" lol. the clip is a suspender belt clip ...very french
this card is very elegant. it is actually not in the collage theme which i usually do . i was pleased with the result .
this card was made to match the invite to the wedding that was received by my friend. she wanted the reply to  match ....this is a tim holtz die and it is a very versatile one. i use it often but always in a different colour scheme and try to vary what i do with it.
i really loved making this card. the gentleman was retiring from the agriculture area....it was rustic and the cardboard and hession was a great embellishment.
