First Prom

 These cards were made as I was asked to make a card for an 11 year-old to celebrate her first prom! It needed to be cream and black with a dress on... the perfect excuse to order some more Spellbinders' dies! These are shapes from the dress forms dies and have been layered on some fantastic Kanban cardstock (I think the collection was called Mackensie).  I have also used neutral cardstock from my stash to make the die cuts pop. The layering shapes are Spellbinders shapes (petals, jewelled fantasies) with some small punched flowers from matching card. The ribbon is from Creative Expressions and the gems from my ever-growing stash!

Getting Better With Age!

This card was made as part of a request; I needed to make a men's birthday card with a 'wine' theme. I happened to pop some Rubbernecker stamps (Creative Expressions) into my basket at one of the Ali Pally shows, so they were perfect for this theme! I have used Kanban backing paper to add interest and then layered with co-ordinating card mounting using Spellbinders Labels dies through my Big Shot. The colours were all done using Distress Inks - Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw and a touch of red from a Cat's Eye red pad I had. The ribbon is some of the 'vintage ribbon' Sue Wilson uses.
