Telford Swap...What A Fabulous Work Of Art!

Ok.  So I'm a little addicted to Elegant Eggplant!  

There...I've confessed.  

I'm sure you'll agree though that this is a fab colour combination - Elegant Eggplant, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla.

I wanted to make a swap that reflected my style as a demonstrator and this sums my style up!  I find it incredibly hard to do straight layers - fact!  So it's quite fitting for my swap to feature angled layers - I find there's no right way to layer so nobody can see if it's not perfectly aligned - brilliant!

So apart from my beloved Elegant Eggplant, I wanted to show that you can create a simply but truly gorgeous card with a few resources.  I stamped 'You Are A Fabulous Work Of Art' from the amazing Work Of Art Stamp Set in, you've guessed it, Elegant Eggplant onto Very Vanilla.  I punched this out using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch and layered with dimensionals onto a 2" Circle in Sahara Sand and a 2 1/2" Circle in Elegant Eggplant.  

I sponged my Very Vanilla layers and my favourite Itty Bitty Accents Flowers in Elegant Eggplant and placed a tiny pearl in the centre of each flower.  I finished with a little Linen Thread looped under the flowers.  

I loved it so much I made a matching name badge!

You Are A Fabulous Work Of Art!

My new favourite stamp set is Work Of Art!  At first I completely dismissed it but then I started seeing amazing projects featuring it and fell in love!

This was the card we made as the Make & Take at my recent launch party!  It's so simple and uses 3 of the new in colors - Tangelo Twist, Blackberry Bliss & Lost Lagoon.  

To create this card we used Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes (13157) and angled a 3"x4.5" piece of Tangelo Twist cardstock (133684).  We triple stamped the background image in Lost Lagoon (133644), stamped the sentiment in Black Stazon Ink (101406) then added a Blackberry Bliss heart from the fab Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (133787 - a must have!) and mounted it on a dimensional (104430)
