retrosketches #25 - part two

Another project for the same challenge at retrosketches

Again something for Xmas. This time in blue.

I know you can't see it in the picture but the whole background is shiny (perfect pearls).

Don't know the manufacturer of papers.

And as in the previous one [here] the bow was made with my personal "bow-maker"!

Love,

elleth

Another challenge at retrosketches :)
This time I decided to go with something Xmas-y.

Can't name the papers, 'cos I wasn't buying the full pad. Maybe you know whom they're from?

Oh, and the cute bow is made with help from "bow-maker" my boyfriend made for me - more on this later ;)

Take care

retrosketches challenge #23

It's a warm weekend here. And a weekend means a time for another challenge at retrosketches.
(http://retrosketches.blogspot.com/2012/08/good-morning-wow-wow-wow-did-you-see.html)

This card wad made using Papermania Capsule Lincoln Linen 8x8 paper pack. 

(sorry for the quality of the photo, but the lightning in my room sucks!)

Part of the front is made from the acetate and when the card is closed it shows the pattern underneath. 

To give a bit more dimension to the butterflies I've punched several layers from vellum and added them beneath the shape punched from the craft cardstock.

Did not have the gold rhinestones so I've used brown Promarker to change color of silver ones. 

Have a good night

retrosketches challenge #22

This card I've made for the challenge at retrosketches blog -

It was also inspired by the post @ Whiff of Joy -
http://whiffofjoy.blogspot.com/2012/07/joy-fold-card.html

 The ribbon with the button on the right serves also as a closure system (with little magnets attached both to ribbon and the front panel of the card).

The card uses:

Simple Stories Fabulous 6x6 paper pack

Fizzy Moon Celebrations Little Messages clear stamps

Distress inks in Vintage Photo and Old Paper

Take care,
