You're Too Glamourous for Words!

Happy Friday, friends!  I am over on the Eyelet Outlet Blog today sharing a card that I am so ridiculously proud of!  

I colored up this beauty and her fan from the Scrappy Boy Stamps Burlesque Beauty stamp set with Copic markers (colors listed below), cut them out, and set them aside. 

I began with a base of shimmery black cardstock, a red panel, and a panel of patterned paper from my stash.  I inked up the edges of the panels with Black Soot Distress Ink. I also diecut a circle from the shimmery black, and a piece of tracing paper (I couldn't find my vellum, so I used what I had on hand LOL) and inked up the edges of those. 

I heat embossed my sentiment onto the shimmery card stock, and bordered it with the red.  I wrapped the card panels with silver metallic thread before adhering them to the card base.  Once I had placed all of the elements on to the card, I added my embellishments.  My new favorite - the Red Glitter Enamel Dots from Eyelet Outlet were PERFECT for the jewel and the tips of the feathers.  I also placed some around the image to draw the viewer's eye to the focal point.  Lastly, I used the Gray Pearl Strips in two different ways.  I added three to each side of the card - I left them together as part of the strip before applying them to the card front.  I also separated a few of them and added them to the fan. 

Colors Used:

Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20

Hair - E09, E08, E13

Clothes/Boots/Lips - R59, R29

Feathers - N10, N8, N6, N4, N2, N0

I hope that you love this card as much as I do!  It was so much fun to create!  Please hop over to the Eyelet Outlet shop and check out all of the amazing embellishments that they carry!   While you are there, stop by the blog and be inspired by all of the amazing creations from the Design Team!

Make Me Coffee and Tell Me I'm Pretty!

  Hello friends!  I am so excited to share my first ever project for Eyelet Outlet!  One of the things that I love most about Eyelet Outlet is all of the amazing embellishments that they carry!  There is literally something for every single project you can think of. 

Have you jumped on the Memory Dex train yet?  I am just getting started and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to use some of the fun embellishments that they have to offer in the Eyelet Outlet store.  If you know me, you know that I love everything about coffee, so this adorable image and sentiment from the Cute Girls Coffee stamp set really resonated with me!

I colored up this little cutie with Copics (colors listed below) and cut her out.  I embossed my sentiment in white and cut the strips into banners.  I die-cut three Memory Dex cards - two from solid card stock and one from patterned paper.  I trimmed the patterned paper dex card to 2" tall and adhered it to one of the solid cards.  I wrapped Sparkle Pink Glitter Washi Tape around the card and adhered the other solid card to the back.  I fun flocked the little puffs of steam, to add some texture to them and adhered the sentiment flags to the back of my main image and then adhered it to the card.  Lastly, I added some pretty pink pearls as embellishment.
