Artistic Etchings ...

Wow, it has been a while since I've posted anything.  I've been busy like the rest of you.  Getting ready for Christmas, shopping and making Christmas cards.  I should finish those up today ... hopefully!

Today I'm posting a card that I got my inspiration from one of my fellow blogging friends, rhondastamps.  To see Rhonda's card, click here.  

Stamps:  Artistic Etchings

Paper:  Creamy Caramel, Vanilla

DP:  Paper Studio

Ink:  Creamy Caramel, Crumb Cake

Accessories:  rhinestones, pewter embossing powder, shiny silver ribbon (non SU), Nestabilities die, sponge dauber, spritzer

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I left this simple to show off the Eiffel Tower and let the designer paper do the rest of the work.

Thanks for stopping by and ...

Have a great day!

Let's get sketchy ...

With Thursday brings another Pals Paper Arts challenge.  This week it all starts with a sketch by my Pal Margaret Moody.

I had the best intentions on making a square card.  Unfortunately my mind was not on the same page as my hand and I cut the paper wrong.  Rather than start over, I just went with what I had.  This is what the 'ole inky fingers came up with ...

Stamps:  Artistic Etchings

Paper:  Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, Vanilla

DSP:  Elegant Soiree

Ink:  Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake

Accessories:  antique brad, circle punches, corner rounder, Nestabilities oval and scallop dies, sponge, dimensionals, eyelets (non SU)

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I left this card pretty simple but liked the end result.  I sponged each piece of paper with soft suede for an aged look.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
