hi guys
well here we are Monday again and another DT card for Visible Image stamps, this time i have gone for a muted gentle card, (yeah yeah i know that's odd for me lol) .
i have used paper from my stash, i think its molly blooms, then i took the Grunge Flourish and used it on opposing corners, i then turned it around and used the bottom of the image to stamp around the rest of the border, i love the depth it created. i then used the sentiment stamp Live the Life you've Imagined. and finished with a thin matching ribbon and a knot...
what do you think?

now onto some exciting news , there are some new stamps launching on the 3rd November , beautiful stamps believe me, there are 2 new releases already on the website, and the rest will be there on the 3rd, make sure you check it out seriously they are fab ...

and you still have till the 4th to enter the Autumn challenge to win yourself £20 worth of stamps , Handy huh with the new releases , the new challenge will start on the 1st so be sure to check that out too .

ok so the hair was driving me crazy so i redid  it lol
i wonder how often we pull apart a finished card and redo part of it? anyway her she is with her new hairdo LOL

Morning all,
hope everyone is well today, here is my DT makes for Visible image, first is another vintage Santa card.
i used the Vintage santa stamp, the backing paper is a brown envelope i cut open and used the inside, i used the beautiful Gaudete background stamp  in the centre, then went down each side with the snowy background  stamp.  Then using more of the envelope i cut out an oval and stamped the Vintage Santa, i made a banner and stamped the Vintage Merry Christmas this was all embossed in copper,i finished off with a gold ribbon bow, and embellished this in the centre with a snowflake from the snowy Background and a single gem for just a touch of bling......

 

then in complete contrast i made a bright tag using the Stunning Corset , i love this stamp... i used a pretty backing paper from my stash for the tag and printed a coordinating blue paper for the corset, added lots of lace to the tag, this is a beautiful soft feminine lace so went with the corset perfectly.

i stamped the corset twice to give depth and cut one stamped image, then very carefully sewed the corset with a sliver of satin ribbon to give the lacing effect. to finish i added lace to the top and bottom of the corset.

Don't forget you still have time to enter the Autumn theme challenge at Visible Image there are some great prizes of , £20 worth of stamps for the first prize, £10 for the second and £5 for the third, and you get to chose the stamps!.

hope you like these makes and will come play along with the challenge you have till the 4th November to enter....

hi everyone
well i finally finished the canvases in between design team work and family etc...
i really enjoyed doing these, they took on a life of their own after the first one i started and the first dress didn't gel with the background how i liked i decided to do 2 , while working away on them the title idea came to mind which of course meant the idea them changed into the 4 canvases one for each fashion capital .
first is of course London

this was one of the first outfits i did which kind of took on its own steam punk ish design , so i ran with it,
here's a close up of the details on the outfits, hard to get the real dimension in the photos, but i hope you can see all the little touches.

next i did Paris which was the background i originally started with...

this one just had to be lace, and soft pinks, i made a tiny hanger for the strappy dress

next i thought what am i going to do for New York and Milan...so i went onto google and looked up the fashion shows for those cities and picked the colours that appeared to be big in each show, though Milan was more green and lavender and mine has changed slightly from the original colours LOL 

New York was all black and red and silver , very swish

 

and just for you sue a close up of his velvet collar which is actually flock :)

and finally we have Milan i think this one is so pretty

iv made another little hanger this time in green, added lots of lace again and some chain and a key to one of the dresses , this one to me has come out like a very feminine steam punk, what do you think?

i have finished them all with a bit of grunging and some corners cut on the cricut.

I'm hoping to get some time next week to do a tutorial for you all on the backgrounds.....

let me know what you think guys,

hugs x
