Inkadinkadoo stamp "My Mother's Dress"

Wow! I can't believe it's been over a month since I've posted. I knew I was busy, I just didn't realize how busy until now!

Okay - so today I'll post a card I made with my all time favorite stamp from Inkadinkadoo. It was stamped on plain white cardstock and hand cut. Added a couple of layers of Tim Holtz' distress inks (Vintage Photo & Walnut Stain). After it dried, my daughter blinged it up with her favorite embellishment - STICKLES!



The background paper is gold and silver and is from the Simple Elegance Foiled Paper stack by The Paper Studio. I used a brown and tan solid C'oredinations paper which I cut with my Nestabilities scalloped circles. I added some Liquid Pearls and a gold ribbon, stamped the smaller scallop with my Happy Birthday stamp and there it is.

I did pop dot the dress as well as the Happy Birthday.

I hope you like the finished product. My friend did!

Embossing, Nestabilities, Hero Arts Stamps, Wall Decor and More, Pearls for bling!

A friend asked for a b/d card for her daughter. She said she liked the shoe card. I don't like to make duplicates, so I played around to come up with something similiar that had it's own unique character and this is it! I embossed the background with my cuttlebug (swirls folder). I cut out the round shapes with my nestibilities, which is really neat since I can print out the sentiment (Happy Birthday Jennifer), then center it before I make the cut! I used some black ribbon with white stitching, my shoe stamps from Hero Arts, the MS border punch and added some pearls, my favorite bling!

I used the Wall Decor and More cart to cut out the shoe to place on the inside, then printed out the sentiment, cut it to size and inked the edges with a soft pink.
