Hello there folks! It's finally that time again. Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps September Release Previews - Day 1. Today we're featuring three stamp sets, Art Deco, Putting on the Ritz, and Opera Tags Christmas.
For my first card, I used Art Deco and Putting on the Ritz. These sets remind me so much of The Great Gatsby. Gold and glamour, and this is what I came up with.
I used Perfect Pearls and gold embossing powder to make a little "skirt" for my card.
I decorated it with some feathers I stamped on vellum. I made a tutorial for this and will share it in a few days. I actually made it before I made this card. lol.
***Update: You can find my tutorial here.***
For my second card, I used the same background pattern and decorated it with this from Opera Tags Christmas. I thought this would be great as a thank you card for a bridal shower. :)
That's it for me! Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure to stop by again tomorrow for more inspiration.
Awesome cards! You caught the whole feel for the kickin' 20's with these cards. Just perfect and beautifully done. I love them and can't wait to purchase these products from WS.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful projects Jean! love how you layered the 'ruffles' and added the feathers! and your creative use of the opera tag for framing! Super color choices on both!
ReplyDeleteLike....I seriously have no words for how awesome these are, Jean. That first one is RIDICULOUSLY gorgeous with your signature vellum feathers. Love the layout and the pinks on the second...just, THUD!
