Card - Elegent Evening

Hi, This is one of my favourite cards, and was featured recently at Scrappy-Go-Lucky. It makes me think of days gone by – a time when men were gentlemen – a time of elegance.

The dress is coloured using watercolour crayons, and the man’s suit is heat embossed in black. The stamp is from Graphic 45.

For the background, I embossed the Core’dinations Whitewash with cuttlebug folder Jamara, then sanded the top layer to reveal the pattern. This is very effective, and can be achieved particularly well with the Whitewash collection. The lace is cut from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art.

The cream doiley in the background is from Paper Lace.

These flowers are from Stretch Your Imagination sized at 1 1/4″, 1 1/2″, and 1 3/4″. They’ve been coated in black glitter, layered, and a pearl added to the centre.

This card was for the Printblocks Creative Block in May, and only certain products could be used. I’m really happy with the end result. Hope you like it too.

And to whet your appetite a little more, here's a sneak peak of a super cute card being featured at Scrappy-Go-Lucky today. If you get a chance, head on over to check it out.

Till next time,
Luv Tereesa.

Engagement Card!

Hi, This is the card featured today on Scrappy-Go-Lucky. I fell in love with these gorgeous lovebirds from the Imagine "Better Together" cartridge; and when Shelley’s daughter, Jessie, recently became engaged, I thought they would be perfect.

The background is from the "Paper Lace" cartridge, and I've added ribbons, pearls, and a crocheted doiley.

I love the way you can layer different aspects of images with the Imagine cuts.

The sentiment and shadow is from "MS Elegant Cake Art", and I’ve used white glitter over the complete word. Don’t forget you can win this cartridge this week by adding a comment to any or all of the posts on Scrappy-Go-Lucky from Sunday 27th March until Saturday 2nd April.

For all sizes and instructions for this card, head over to Scrappy-Go-Lucky.

Now for some big news - would you like the chance to win your very own Imagine Machine. Mandy from Scrappy-Go-Lucky is having an amazing give-away - details will be revealed tomorrow...

Here's a sneak peak!

Luv, Tereesa.
