Oh my goodness. I spent all afternoon and evening decorating the our tree. We bought new ornaments because I decided that this year we would be having a shabby chic tree. I'm so glad I have my cards all ready for the release! I have no idea how I could have sneaked in card making this weekend. Too many things going on! And I have yet to try and make my first sugar cookies! :) I will update you on that later. Heehee.
Welcome to WPlus9 December/January Release Preview - Day 3! So many great things are coming your way!!! Every other month I'm always excited to see what Dawn has come up with. She is absolutely brilliant when it comes to her designs. Today, we are introducing Damask Delights with its coordinating dies, and Quite Like You.
I started by stamping one of the damask images, in the Damask Delights set, to make a patterned paper. I sewed it together with a strip of kraft cardstock that I embossed with a woodgrain pattern and inked with white pigment ink.
Then I die cut the coordinating Damask Delight dies and stamped their images on them. I used them to frame my felt/crocheted flower. I added some baker's twine from The Twinery. I finally encouraged myself to buy them! I have been eyeing them for the longest time but they were just not high enough on my want list that I haven't gotten any of them at all! But now that I do have them, I have to say that I love, love, love them!!!
I stamped one of the sentiments from Quite Like You on a strip of patterned paper. I think you ladies are going to LOVE this sentiment set. I DO!!!! To finish it off, I took some Score Tape and adhered it to the bottom of the strip an generously spread some glitter onto it.
That's all I have for today! Tomorrow is Full Reveal Day, so make sure you head on over to the WPlus9 design blog to check out the entire release! And hop on over to the other WPlus9 DT girls' blogs. I get so much inspiration from these wonderful ladies, I'm absolutely sure you will too! See you again tomorrow! :)
Elegance at it's best! Love it, Jean. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere to start, your card is gorgeous Jean. I really love the colours you chose. The pattern and the stitching are so lovely and that accent! Did you crochet the flowers? I have to ask you your secrets because you photographs are always perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh no Tracey, I didn't crochet the flowers. lol. I'm too lazy if anything. heehee. They're from Recollections sold at Michaels. As for the photographs, thank you!!! I've been trying to work on them sooo much. I have a Canon T3i, it's one of those starter cameras. But it works so well. I also run it through Photoshop and tweak it up a bit if it's too dark or blurry, etc.
DeleteWOW, Jean, what a beauty! Those flourish die-cuts are to die for :)))
ReplyDeleteStunning! I never think to put silver and brown together myself, but WOW! Totally gorgeous!
