Glamorous 20's

My DT sample for MTTC, the theme is using the two colours turquoise and brown. I wasn't sure I liked this colour combo at first but as I made my card it kind of grew on me. My base card is 8x8 and started with a brown mat. I then used turquoise card and embossed using an embosilicious folder and inked around the edges. I cut out two shapes from the same set of spellbinders dies, I inked both of them before removing the die. My image is a stamp from Kanban which I coloured using spectrum noir pens. I layered both my die shapes onto brown card so it could be seen through the shape. I used foam pads on my image and two shapes and then placed them onto my card finishing by adding some gems.


Thank you for taking the time to view my blog, all comments are appreciated x

    Hi Sheila, just wanted to pop over to say thank you for the lovely comment you left on my Craft Creations die cuts challenge entry - thank you so much I really do appreciate it.
    As I was looking around, aka being nosey, I noticed this beautiful card. I have that stamp set and I really must dig it out to use it a bit more often - you've coloured her beautifully and I love the blue, really really love it! Tfs hugs Karen
