ALMOST 3-D

The doilies on this card illustrate perfectly how colour can show depth. Light colours look further away and dark colours look closest. The doilies appear to be laying over eachother with the darkest ones on top. This technique works well with any subject or image and is a fun way to make designer paper.

This can be done with the same colour too simply by stamping off and having lighter and darker shades.

Give it a try!

NO STAMPING- JUST SCRAPS

The card I cased this from used buttons where I have used embossed circles. The sentiment is different as well but the layout and colours are a direct c-a-s-e from Teri Anderson's card in Color Inspiration magazine.

I don't think I've ever made a card without stamping on it somewhere. Always a first time.....

c-a-s-e *copy and share everything

Have a marvelous day!

Thanks for looking.

BLUE WITH VELLUM

Blue. My fave. Has been for as long as I can remember.

This card, could easily become a fave as well.

I hope you get a chance to design and create with your favourites very soon.

Enjoy.

TAKING UP THE CHALLENGE- IT'S PLAYTIME!

Another colour challenge at Colour Q. I subbed Wisteria, as that was the closest I could get for Orchid. This card is also the sample for Monday night Hostess Club- we're going back to the scrap bin.

Here is the challenge from Colour Q-

I hope you'll go have a look at all the other creations there. Inspiration and yummy eye candy for cardmakers and scrapbookers.

Hope you can enjoy this beautiful day.

PAPER WORKS

The Holly Berry designer paper is gorgeous. This card has a very small sampling and you can't see it but the polka dots are embossed gltter. Another paper in the collection has embossed glitter stripes- so Christmas candy-ish!

Another quick card letting the paper do the work.

Happy long weekend everyone.

SILVER GLITTER CARDSTOCK- OH MY!

Can you say "Luscious"? That's what it is. Stampin' Up! has silver glitter cardstock and it's just as beautiful as the red. So easy to use, no messing with adhesive and loose glitter, although that has it's fun side too.

Be warned, as I seem to be on a bit of a Christmas kick, which is no surprise since I just received an order with Christmas themed goodies in it  :)

And that too, is LUSCIOUS!

Have an amazing day!

ANOTHER VERSATILE CARD MAP

Simple components, complimentary colours and a bit of texture round out this different Christmas card. Again, could easily be adapted to any occasion.

Hope you are having a wonderful day!
