A Visit to the Eiffel Tower

Ballet and Lace

Rubbernecker Stamps came out with some new ballet themed stamps.  While I don't dance... someone who I love does. (Hi, daughter from another mother ;) ) So they needed to  come to my house to play.

One of my favorite parts of the ballet, is the costumes!  Satin, Lace and Tulle!  All of which were the inspiration for this card.

Details:

• Stamps: Ballet Dancer, Lace Netting, Lace Square, Lace Border Set, and Flora Damask background stamps all from Rubbernecker Stamps;
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Adirondack shell pink and salmon die ink pads; Versamark;
• Paper: Bazzill cardstock; Bristol Smooth paper;
• Accessories: White embossing powder; Copic Markers, Stickles glitter glue; ribbon; hole punch; EK Success border punch; foam tape;

To bring out the lace detail the lace border and square stamps were stamped with Versamark on white cardstock, heat embossed with white embossing powder, then sponged with shell pink and salmon ink. To sponge ink use the Inkssentials blending tool and sponge.

Soar...

So I was cleaning up my desk... and that is how this card came to be. *wink*
At least a couple of elements on this card were leftovers from other projects.

Details:

• Paper: Shipping tag; navy blue and white cardstock; Decorative paper from Graphic 45;
• Stamps: Floral Flourish#1; Butterflies are Free set; Alphabet Set #2
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Tim Holtz Distress Inks: faded jeans, broken china, tumbled glass, antique linen, frayed burlap, dusty concord; 
• Accessories: white embossing powder; stickles; Martha Stewart lace punch; ribbon; 

I figured it all looked better on a card than in the trash bin.
Thanks for taking the time to look!
