More Chandeliers

Been busy today using more of the stamps from My Cute Stamps as I need to do some samples for the show at Harrogate.  Here are a couple that I stamped up yesterday but which needed turning into finished cards.


This one is stamped in Brilliance Orchid and then has clear ep over it.  I stamped the word "Celebrate" (same plate) randomly over the main pink cardstock and attached some paper lace top and bottom.  It looked a bit bare on the white cardstock so I added three gemstones.


I decided to try it in shrink plastic and as I had some translucent which already had Brilliance ink randomly over the top of it I just used Brilliance Violet to stamp the image.  The scalloped border is from the same plate as are the words "Girls Night".  I used a Nestability Scalloped Rectangle to cut the two shapes and I cut freehand just beyond the scallops adding a plain mauve strip to the back page.


This one looks so much better IRL as I used my Stickles Silver on the diamond shapes at the bottom to represent crystal and my Stickles Diamond (gives a sort of red and gold effect) to each of the dots/beads holding the chandelier in place.  The latter was painstaking as the Stickles is getting low and needed an awful lot of pressure to get just a tiny amount of it out.  Such a shame it does not show up in the scan.

I did some more but really need to get to bed so will scan and upload them tomorrow.  Then hopefully I can do some more card making and maybe do a challenge or two.

Hopefully Mojo is on her way back.
