Mother Silhouette Card

Created this Mother's Day card using Cricut Design Space Mother Silhouette Card by Dezi Moss which when I searched for it in the Cartridge List it indicated Cricut Mother's Day Cards 04.

Used light blue, which is my fav color, for the Silhouette cut. Used Buff Ivory from the Kraft Journal store behind the Silhouette cut which to me it gave it a Cameo look like I see on Cameo jewelry.

Used Spellbinder fancy die to make the sentiment tag. Used MISTI tool to stamp Hero Arts sentiment on the sentiment tag. Inked the edges of the sentiment tag.

Added pearls for necklace.

Calligraphy Altered Notebook Revisited

For Artic Fox OSAAT DT Ch194 click here.  

Kraft Journal challenge is to Share your fav project of 2013. This is one of my favs and so I made another of the Calligraphy Altered Notebooks since I gifted the first one.
 
Some of you know I like calligraphy & learned calligraphy over 21 yrs ago (before my daughter was born). I decided to alter a notebook and have a calligraphy theme. I bought several of these small notebooks from the Dollar Store and so they are perfect for altering.

I used mostly Tim Holtz items. Embossed a layer with a Cuttlebug Script embossing folder to go perfectly with the calligraphy writing theme. Used TH Inkwell dies. Used Enamel accents black for look of calligraphy ink. Stamped a TH sentiment. Added lace to complement the shabby chic vintage look. Used a sketch which you can see below.

Supplies List 


embossing: Cuttlebug Script embossing folder
Enamel accents: black
ink: VersaFine Onyx Black
lace: the Paper Studio Ecru Lace Doily Ribbon
machines: Sizzix BIGkick, Tim Holtz Vagabond 
paper:  cardstock - black, gray, Ivory Buff (from Kraft Journal store)

Spellbinder: NestHexagons
Tim Holtz: dies - Mini Feather & Inkwell, Writing Desk,
