This first card is for the One Layer Wednesday challenge. This week we were asked to create a one layer card using cream, black, and bling! :) I used some Core-dinations shimmery cream paper, Stampin' Up! Basic Black ink and stamps, and rhinestones by Kaiser Craft.
Here it is with a few detailed shots~
The second and last card for tonight is for the Pink Elephant sketch challenge, the Top Tip Tuesday Faux or Real stitching challenge, and for the CR84FN color challenge: kraft, gray, and yellow.
Here's my card~
Details~
I chose faux stitching, as I don't have a sewing machine and hand stitching didn't quite appeal to me. It took quite a while to do all the pieces I wanted to faux stitch, but I really like the way it turned out! I have a TIP for faux stitching--draw your lines in with a ruler before paper piercing to save time--it's a lot easier that way! For my faux stitching, I chose to use a dark gray glitter gel pen. I also highlighted the sentiment with a glitter gel pen to give a bit more depth to my card. I LOVE glitter gel pens!!! :) All cardstock and stamps are by Stampin' Up!, the patterned paper is by DCWV, and the rhinestones are by Basic Grey.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek--I can't wait to see everyone else's creations! Happy stamping! :)

Mynette, you've created an array of gorgeous cards! LOVE the way the faux stitching looks ... that's something I use a LOT! LOL! I have a machine, but hate to re-thread it with different colors all the time! Your OLW card is perfectly CAS!
Lovely cards. I find sympathy cards hard to make because Ilike glitter. However you did a perfect job of that. I really liked your challenge card. So elegant.
