Week 11 - Card 1 - Parisian Motif Silhouette

Finally the new Spellbinders have arrived and we can all have a play. For this weeks class card I used the Parisian Motif die. While the DP (Kaisercrafts Waltz) was in the die I inked lightly around the edge with Black Soot distress ink. In the centre I used Marianne Designs Creatables Elegant Lady die on black Bazzill Basics CS. The background paper is from Prima's new range Melody and it's called Potting Shed. I just love this DP!

The bow is from Becca Feeken and it's called a double tailed bow. As soon as I saw Becca make this bow I just had to try it. We found it a bit fiddly with the satin ribbon but the card really called for it (and I couldn't find any black organza in the 2.5cm size).I threaded the bow through the Parisian Motif design and around the back of the card front.

The card front was then layered onto grey card and I added some pearls to give the card a bit of bling.

May Card Challenge

Colours of Autumn The challenge for May is colours of Autumn. I love Autumn in the UK where I grew up, with all the crispy leaves on the ground and bare trees. I do miss that, as we just don't get it here in QLD (although I don't miss the cold LOL). So with that in mind, I thought it would make a good challenge...those gorgeous colours of autumn...oranges, yellows, greens and browns. It doesn't have to be an autumn themed card, just those colours. This one should take you out of your comfort zone and get you thinking :) TO ENTER: Simply make a card, scrapbooking page or other project following the theme and give it to me, email me a picture, or a link to your project. Competition closes at midnight on Tuesday 28th May Voting will commence on Wednesday 29th May and will finish Saturday 2nd June.
