More card making!

I wanted to create something with a little pizzaz... if you know what I mean (wink!).  So I came up with this concept of a card in pink, black, white.  And if that was not all, the paper has a leopard print in black and white.... Now, with that said, everything is good in moderation, and I think this beautiful series of cards I have in mind and I'm calling "Glam!" have just enough flower power.  Take a peek!



Here are more close ups of the embellishments and the flowers I made. I used Maya Road stick pins to secure a ribbon sewn with silver sequins and a little angel button I had in my stash. 

But my favorite part is the inside....


Now this next card is the second on my series "Glam!" and I wanted to keep a similar color palette, but making it slightly simpler yet elegant.  So I kept textures rich and the overall presentation simple. 
The stamp is beautiful and I added a rhinestone for a sparkle effect.  The bloom is from the bloomers collection by Websters, and I only added one overlaid on top of a wired arrange of faux pearls.  There is a very slightly weathered feel to it, as I inked the edges very slightly.  

The inside is also stamped, and it is also framed in a pink foil die cut.

In Loving Memory

Image
Dear bloggers, my family is in mourning.  My dear sister passed yesterday morning.  Her body could not take the prescribed treatment and she is now in peace and free of pain.   She was the most loving person I know, and also the most amazingly kindhearted sister.  I will take a break from blogging to be with my family.  I thank you for visiting my blog. God bless. In Memoriam With you a part of me hath passed away; For in the peopled forest of my mind A tree made leafless by this wintry wind Shall never don again its green array. Chapel and fireside, country road and bay, Have something of their friendliness resigned; Another, if I would, I could not find, And I am grown much older in a day. But yet I treasure in my memory Your gift of charity, and young heart's ease, And the dear honour of your amity; For these once mine, my life is rich with these. And I scarce know which part may greater be,-- What I keep of you, or you rob from me. G...

Poinsettia Wreath

Image
I have accumulated so much ribbon lately that I was looking for ways to use it to make some holiday decor.  I remembered how my grandmother used to make wreaths for every holiday and I used to sit down in her kitchen table and look at her beautiful creations.  I clearly remembered the Day of the Dead wreaths she made with crepe paper, wire, and ribbon.   In my nostalgia I thought about using my ribbon to decorate a wreath.  I had some cardboard left over and I drew a circle and cut it out to use it as the base.  Then I started scrunching up the wired ribbon all around. I used glue to keep it into place and mini brads on some parts, just to keep it in place but I took them away when it was dry. The poinsettias are from Michael's.  They have stems with 3-4 poinsettias for like $1.99.  I kept the palette soft and used white and gold poinsettias.  By the way, did you know poinsettias come from Mexico? Back in the 1800s the US Ambassado...

A Scrappy New Year...

Image
I wish everyone a very happy and scrappy 2011!! I've been slow on recovering from all the traveling and holiday busyness.  To be quite honest, I thought I had lost my inspiration!  For some reason I'm into minimalistic stuff right now, maybe I'm just lazy, but it poses an interesting challenge, to create something beautiful without much adornment.  Here's my latest batch of layouts. I recently signed up to get the Limited Edition kit from My Creative Scrapbook and I'm smitten so far! The kit was very reasonably priced and had so many goodies! No add-ons and I got very very cool papers, flowers, embellishments and fibers.  I had already bought the Night Divine collection, but it's always good to have more than one of these incredibly beautiful papers. This is my baby during one of our holiday shopping trips.  The background is this beautiful store where they had such amazing Christmas decorations.  He was so excited about it! I actually used the sketc...
