Dior Card

More wonderful inspirations from Runway Inspired Challenge with a beautiful dress from Christian Dior's Fall 2012 collection. I love neutral colours! I used the Card Patterns Sketch 164 to create my Dior card.

 

I decided to use Basic Grey/Hero Arts Sweet Threads stamps for the background to mimic the colours on the dress. The sentiment from Technique Tuesday together with the buckle (which has been in my stash for years) tied it all in very nicely. I was pleased with the end result. Thank you for dropping by!

Mother's Day Card 2

I have three Mother's Day cards to make, so here is the second one. I decided to participate in the CardPatterns Sketch 160 as my first winning card was made with one of their sketches. My problem with this sketch (I almost was not going to participate) is that I do not have any oval dies. I ended up using a rectangular frame, rounded on the corners.

The colour scheme was determined by the colours of the Washi tape (Yes, I have to thank my sister again), the rest was pretty easy until I decided to paint with distress re-inkers (my first try at this). The colours did not turn out that nice on kraft card stock. I kept it and stamped on MME A Happy Heart patterned paper and fussy cut the flowers. The leaves were coloured with Peeled Paint and the cardstock I used were from the Tim Holtz Distress collection. The flowers are from Hero Arts and the sentiment from Kaisercraft. I now have one more Mother's Day card to make. Why three? I send one to my Ex-Mother-In-Law as well :)
