Elegant Verses Blog Hop!

The Gina K team and guests are hopping tonight with "Elegant Verses", thank for joining us!


I finally got around to making the card I'd been thinking about since I first saw the "Elegant Post" set: when Nina came out with this lamp verse in "Elegant Verses" this month, I couldn't put it off any longer LOL! I stamped the post on Vellum CS and then flipped the paper over and stamped it again to create the two sides of the chandelier. I added the pair of birds right side up and upside down to make it a little more ornamental and then added all the self adhesive rhinestones and some little crystal stickers from Stampendous I had. The tiny rectangle and tear drop shapes on the strip were perfect to make the lit candles! I don't have ay chandelier stamps but they've been a very poular trend for awhile now, so I was really pleased with how this worked out! Verse is framed when a die cut Fancy Tag, CS is Pure Luxury White and Black Onyx. The Textile Cuttlebug folder pattern really does look like chandeliers, I embossed it into the card base and the vellum strip under the focal point. It's a beautiful folder for vintage cards.
