I echoed this theme using some new Pearl Glimmer CS from Paper Temptress and embossing it with my Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder, looks like a million little pearls now doesn't it? Base is Paper Temptress Amethyst Metallic and DP is the "Springtime in Paris" Digital paper from Gina K, isn't it perfect with the flower mix in this image? I stamped the image on Pure Luxury White and colored it with Copics. It is double mounted it with Petite Scalloped and Classic Petite Oval mats, the scalloped silver rims you see is Paper Temptress Silver Metallic. Ribbons are SU!The next project previews a set from our newest Gina K Designs illustrator Nina Brackett, called "Special Father". The grandfather clock image is stamped in Memento Black, colored with Copics.
I wanted to the clock to look like one you'd find in a formal front hall, so I used some Basic Grey Porcelain DP for the wallpaper. With my Scor-Pal, I scored a white strip of CS to make the baseboard and scored these diagonals in the Creamy Caramel CS to look like floorboards. The little green rug you see is a new ruched paper from Paper Temptress coming out in June, so elegant! Please click for a closeup to see all the texture these little details add to the scene!
I stamped the little greeting from the set, this time selecting the word "Dad"( there are many options to choose from), onto a square and matted it with the green and brown to look like a framed picture on the wall. This could be a great "grandmother" card with different colors! The brown you see is Gina K Pure Luxury Chocolate Kiss. Base is SU! Creamy Caramel.

WOW!! You did a PERFECT job creating the "entryway".....WOW!!
ReplyDeleteThese cards a marvelous. I love using the Swiss Dots folder, but would never have thought of using it on glimmer paper to make it really look like pearls. That is so creative. The cards are both gorgeous and I truly love that Grandfather clock. Very, very creative way to make it look like it is standing on the floor. Your work is always inspirational to me. Can't wait to get hold of everything.
ReplyDeleteStunning cards, Melanie!!! I love both of them!!
ReplyDeleteLove em! The first one is so elegant...and i love the clock card---so glad to see that you used it---looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe first card is beautiful! I like the shimmer, glimmer you added to the card. I needed an inspiration for a Wedding card and I think this one did the trick. The Clock card is very nice too and a lot of thought went into setting the scene for the clock. Thanks for all your thoughtful ideas and beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteGreat coloring of the flowers!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are great, Melanie! I just love the coloring of the flowers and "room" with the clock.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colored flowers with the pearls and the clock is wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love that top card. It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, Melanie! Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us!
ReplyDeleteLove your Xmas cards and the ornament is so cute. Very ingenious on how you did the grandfather clock card to look like a room with dimension.
