Just a quick post tonight--really! My husband and daughters are waiting for me to watch a movie with them, and it's already after 10:30, so we're in for a late one, I think!
This is the 3rd week of the Play Date Cafe'--have you joined in the fun yet?! So many wonderfully talented people are already participating, so come and play! This week the color challenge is beautiful and dramatic: red, white and black.
I have a beautiful stamp set that I haven't used yet, and it was the only thing that kept coming to mind when I thought of the colors--and here it is:
This gorgeous set from Paper Relics, a favorite of mine. I love the artist's vision of fantasy mixed with vintage--Hope Wallace--she's amazing! Do yourself a favor and go look at her stamps--they're different than anything else I've seen...just gorgeous!
Here's the set:
I love the stamped saying (I split it up on the card...), "She who must be obeyed"--don't we wish!
Beautiful, isn't it?! Here's a couple of close-ups of my card--I just love the detail in the stamps! Some of them look like old woodcuts to me...
I had so much fun with the challenge this week--thanks so much, PDCC ladies! The next challenge starts on Thursday--come and play with us!
I'll be back tomorrow with something new...hope your night is delightful and your Sunday peaceful...Sweet dreams!

Julie, what a fabulous card! I am learning so much from you! I love that you put the list of elements used at the end so that we can see what we might need were we to try it out for ourselves! I think you are so talented! Happy Sabbath to you!!
ReplyDeleteJulie, thanks for your lovely comment! Moreish, when something is moreish it means that it is soooo good you just want MORE of it! It's completely moreish! I think it is a British turn of phrase!
ReplyDeleteWow Julie this is stunning! I love that stamp set but the way that you have used it and assembled your card is simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visits and your kind words. x

ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely welcome to use the vintage typewriter photo. It's from an etsy link (just click on the photo as it appears on my blog to be taken to original source), so I suppose that I can't give you "absolute" permission as I didn't take the photo, but from my side of things you're welcome to use it - and any other photos you'd ever like from my pages, sweet dear.
Huge hugs & joyful wishes for the coming week!
