A Question of Style.....


Hello All,

A fairly simple style from me today, going for the less is more look.

After exposing one of my early cards recently (here) I felt the need to get the same stamp out...and see what I could make!!.... I stamped it on some card, masked it over to stamp the script detail...and then stamped a few layers to create a little dimension to the dress....and then added some glitter.

The edges of the card have been inked with "distress ink - antique linen. I have also embossed the edges with holographic embossing powder to add a little sparkle.

I have a question for you all.....I have been fortunate over the holidays to have had a few days playing with all things crafty...i have made some elegant cards, collage cards, cute cards.....Also last year I was so inspired by Gez's art journal that I really wanted to join in...and I have almost finished creating the basis for my January pages......which is hilarious as I have never attempted anything like this before, and is way way out of my comfort zone...... I do genuinely love all these styles....anyway my question is should I show all these styles on this blog? would you be happy to see them or would it be better for me to start a couple of new blogs to reflect each style?.....I would appreciate any input.

As for today's card I would like to enter it into the following challenges:

Allsorts - Thank you
Sweet Stamping Challenge - song title ( Lady in Red )
If the Shoe Fits Scrap it - make the focal point red.
Colour create - Pink, Red, White
C.R.A.F.T - Thank you
Cute Card Thursday - Thank you
Paper Take Weekly - Special Thank you.

Thanks for looking
Hugs Juls

  1. I love the card, simple but so elegant. I really need to try masking it looks so effective. As for your blog question, if it was me I think my blog my space, so I will show all my crafty sides in one place, but if you have lots of dt commitments etc then it may be better to have a whole new page to showcase your work!
