You Inspire Me

Hello Blog friends, I am sharing a shabby card with you today, using some of the things that are 'gathering' on my desk.....it is my form of cleaning my desk! LOL!  Any excuse to create!!

I have used a printed image that I have had for a number of years (can you believe that!?!?) It is cut by hand and mounted onto a stamped image from Stampin' Up, using Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L- 3D Foam Squares.  The image has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine and Labels Twenty-Three Spellbinders® Nestabilities®.  The Die has been used as a Stencil, sponging the inside using IMAGINECrafts®/Tsukineko® Delicata™ Pigment Ink in Golden Glitz.  This has been adhered to the card base using 3D Foam Squares.

A double Seam Binding bow has been adhered to the side of the card, using liquid glue followed by a button and a pearl from Want2Scrap© 72 Count - White Pearls - Self Adhesive.

The bling border is from Want2Scrap©  - Beautiful Bling Borders! by Nina Brackett - Beautiful Blooms.

Material Girl

I am back with my second card for Card Design Class next week, using the fabulous Material girl stamp set from Crafty Secrets.  How divine is this sewing machine - it just had to take 'center stage'.

 The image has been stamped using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Onyx Black. The frame by Stampin' Up has been stamped using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink in London Fog.  I have used IMAGINECrafts®/Tsukineko® Delicata™ Pigment Ink for sponging - it has the the right amount of shimmer for this nostalgic card.

 The addition of lace, pearls, button and twine always add a nostalgic touch - all things we have at home.

The bling from Want2Scrap©. 

The Labels Twenty-Three  and the Grand Labels Twenty-Three Spellbinders® Nestabilities® have been cut using the  Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine.  I have also used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and  Mounting Squares - 500 White
