LAUNCH NIGHT CARDS

These are the three project the lovely ladies did on the night. Thank you, to all who attended i know i enjoyed the night and i hope you did to.
This card here is using the new Medallion, this is a great all round stamp for weddings, birthday, masculine cards. I have used versamark for the stamp then stamp it onto the cardstock brocade blue, using the pastal chalks with a cotton bud, lightly rubbing over the ink. Used Brocade blue and Night of Navey for the chalks, the harder you press the darker the inage will show. This is a easy technique but effective.

This card we used the XL two step bird punch a new slim line punch its great for storage. Background is in Gable Green cardstock with the new perfect polka dots embossing folder (love it) then using using scollop punch on the new in clour Melon Mambo. the circle is 2" using circle sissor plus, scollops behind the circle are done by cutting two circle scollops and punching them in the middle with the 3/4 circl punch. Then from the inside of the circle cut, not all the way only half, every second scollop and on the last cut all the way through. Work this around the back of the circle sticking it down as you go. Last of all but it is hard to see in this picture but we made the bird a suede look by using the bone floder over the cardstock until the cardstock starts to part, peeling the two apart gives you a suede effect.(thanks to Dawns stamping thoughts) i will show a demo of this later on.

This one using the new Pillow Box die cut, oh i can make so many little box now for little choc gifts, wish this was avaliable when i had my wedding. we cut the pillow boxs then rolled them with the new Very Vintage roller Jumbo, sentiments are using the Sentiments Teeny Tiny. This goes great with the word window punch. The flower is using 1 3/8, 1 1/4, 1 and 3/4 circle punchs and a bling brad. ALL THESE NEW PRODUCTS ARE FOUND IN THE NEW MINI CATALOGUE APRIL - AUGUST 2010.
