Vintage Wine Card

So this one of my cards. This is for the Principal that is leaving our school to another. I was asked to make something with wine. I thought, hmm, I don't have any wine stamps, what am going to do?? Well I saw this grape stamp from the new CTMH catalogue and thought, AHAA!

Anyways, the card size is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2".

I used Eggplant Envy as my base card.

I cut a 4-1/2" square from Very Vanilla. Stamped the French Script using Sahara Sand as the background. Stamped the grapes once onto my card front using Eggplant Envy and then again onto another VV cs scrap. I overstamped the outlines of the graps onto the scrap and embossed in gold. Cut it out and placed on top to give it a 3-d look. I stamped the leaf with Garden Green.

I also sponged the background using Close to Cocoa and Bravo Burgundy. I stressed the edges as well as rolled the corners and edged edges with Chocolate Chip.

I matted the VV onto Eggplant Envy and then matted again onto a piece of gold cs. I think the ribbon and the hodgepodge hardware finishes it off.

With the front panel finished I adhered it to the main card front using pop ups.

Here is the inside of the card. Again, I used vv, sponged it with Close to Cocoa and Bravo Burgundy. With the vines, I embossed that in gold to give it a nice touch. And don't forget your sentiment!

Here is the recipe:
Stamps: CTMH, French Script, Sincere Salutations
Inks: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Bravo Burgundy, Elegant Eggplant, Garden Green, Versa Mark
Paper: Very Vanilla, Elegant Eggplant, Gold CS

I happened to luck out and had some grosgrain ribbon and brads that almost resemble the Riding Hood Red ink.

"DUDE"

This is one of my series of birthday cards that I will be posting. My DS turned 10 this month. I made 2 versions of this card and asked DH which was his favourite. He picked the card on the right.

The card on the left, you can pull the ribbon out to reveal the word "Dude". See below for more details.

The stamp set is from Close to My Heart. The card size is 5x7.

Using the skateboard, I stamped the background using onto the Basic Grey cs. Stamped the skater boy and masked him. I then stamped the skateboard. Masking part of the skater boy made it look like he was holding onto his skateboard.

I coloured him in using my copic markers (I stil require a bit more practice), but loved the effect.

I then punched out a large star and a smaller star and mounted them both together with a star brad. The DS paper is from SU Spring-Summer Catalogue.

Stamped "Dude" onto a white scrap of cs and punched either side and then threaded the red ribbon through and added the brads on either sides.

This was my second version of the card, only it is the standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I added the red ribbon on the side so you can pull out the tab. Otherwise, it is pretty much the same card.

I would love to hear your comments about which card you like best and why.

Here is the recipe:
Stamps: CTMH
Paper: Basic Grey, Real Red, WW, SU DS paper, Blue Bayou
Ink: Black
Other: Star Eyelet, Diamond Brads, Real Red Ribbon, Slot Punch, Star Punches (large and small), Copic Markers

Have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!!
