I have a few re-run cards to share today. These have been seen here on the blog before, but Graphic 45 wanted to do a card showcase today and wanted something to share on their blog, so I said they could resurrect these beauties!

I mixed Le' Romantique with Curtain Call to make this Paris-themed card. The ribbon was white, but I used Copic markers to color the satin ribbon to match the paper. I colored the pins, too!

This cutie card uses An ABC Primer papers and stamps. This is my favorite, favorite line from Graphic 45.

This card was just revealed for the Page Maps March newsletter. Again, this is the An ABC Primmer collection.

Fabbie buttons!

To make the "doilies" in the center of the card, I cut the shapes with a Spellbinders die templates (Picot Edge Circles, Iron Work Motifs), then sprayed them with Clearsnap Smooch Spritz.



The cameo is made from three layers of chipboard. I inked the fancy oval chipboard with bronze pigment ink, then added several layers of clear embossing powder to make a glossy finish. I used the same technique on the silhouette, only I inked with sapphire silk pigment ink. To create the center chipboard oval, I covered it with patterned paper, then used chalk ink to soften the edges.
