IC1036 - Selfridges - Inspiration

I was inspired by the two swans on the sweater and pulled out this beautiful swan image, a retired stamp from Heartfelt Creations. The image was stamped, colored with Copics, and then die cut. I also stamped and colored the lilies, shaped them, added stamens to the centers, and finished them with a touch of Stickles for sparkle.

Behind the dimensional lilies, I tucked two additional stamped lily images, also colored with Copics, to add depth and fullness.

All of the elements were arranged within the shaped gate die cuts and layered onto purple cardstock for a rich backdrop.

This card is headed to my son and his fiancée, who will be married soon. Since she loves ducks, I thought this swan image would be a sweet nod to her love of them.

F4A816 - Fabric

For my card, I used black lace beneath the embossed layer to incorporate fabric into the design.

I added torn and curled edges to the embossed layer for texture, then adhered it to a black card base with the lace peeking out from underneath.

Next, I stamped Heartfelt Creations flowers and leaves onto black cardstock using Versamark ink, then heat embossed them in black for a subtle, dimensional effect. After cutting and shaping the layers, I assembled them to create depth and movement.

To finish the card, I added a silver "Best Wishes" tag.

This card is headed to my son and his fiancée, who are getting married soon. They both love gothic style and have asked guests to dress as if attending a funeral—how delightfully dramatic! I adore their sense of fun and feel this card suits them perfectly.

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my card today. I truly appreciate your kind comments. If you leave me a note, I’d love to visit your blog in return.
