All Things Beautiful - Shimmer and bling

Posted by Venus and Luanne @ Sisters Craft Cafe on December 20, 2011 in Bling and Shimmer, handmade cards, hero arts stamp, Spellbinders, Venus' Posts,

 Good day everyone! It's only six days before Christmas. 

I've been blog hopping yesterday and found out many are hosting challenges with shimmer and bling, so I decided to make a few cards just to practice on different styles and use my new stamps and craft materials. This time I made non-Christmas themed cards.

Wishing You All Things Beautiful

 I've been keeping my peacock stamp set for several months now. I bought it last year and used it only once or twice and I'm soooo glad I was able to use it again. Working at INKpressive Invitations shop , all my projects are for fast mass production that I don't have enough time to really create something like this.

 

I used glitter pens to color the peacock. At first I thought the colors were too harsh, but in the end, I think it worked pretty well. I added rhinestone beads to the tail. Isn't it fabulous?

 DREAM CARD

My inspiration for my DREAM card is a KITTIE! Yes, Kittie Caracciolo is one fantastic card artist and her creations are so beautiful. You may check out her blog HERE

I recently bought new leaf dies and bird stamps but I still have no idea how to use them until last night. This card definitely inspired by Kittie's latest Christmas cards. I used the leaves as the nest. The bird on the left is stamped using Fiskars bird stamps. I then traced a bird on patterned paper and hand cut it to make a mirror image. I placed mounting tape on the birds to add depth.{smile!}
