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.

Sketchy Paint Spills

In the last edition of Australian Simply Cards I had a coffee break feature. In this feature was this simple stamped card. It has been a very popular card, I guess partly for it's simplicity and partly for it's versatility. I really can be used for any gender and any age group just by swapping some colours. Here is how I made this card - for those who may have missed the magazine. Instructions 1. Cut an A4 sheet of white cardstock in half at 14.8cm x 21cm . 2. Score and fold in half at 10.5cm. 3. Cut another piece of white smooth cardstock to 14.3cm x 10cm . 4. Stamp the sentiment with the Versafine ink in the bottom right corner. 5. Stamp the various paint spills and drips with the coloured inks, to your liking. 6. Die cut the Sketchy Rings fro...
