Gingersnaps Color Challenge

It's time again for another Gingersnaps Color Challenge and this month we're making creations in all shades of blue.

I spied a piece of blue book page background on my desk, so decided to incorporate it into my challenge card. I bought an Artistic Outpost set called Steam Punk several months ago and it seen ink yet, so I reached for this too.

The book page background included a sequin waste stamp from The Artistic Stamper, so I carried this onto the card base. I kept the rest of the card simple because the main image has a lot of detail and I wanted that to be the focus of the card.

I hope you'll check out the other Design Team creations and play along with our challenge!

Happy Stamping!

Vintage Lace

I have been working on lots of stuff - honest. But so many of the projects are not quite finished - sigh....

Here is something I've completed using some vintage lace and an adorable stamp from The Artistic Stamper in the UK. I wrote a tutorial on Gingersnaps yesterday on how to create this glitter/lace effect - check it out!

The lady is lightly colored with Copic markers and her dress is paper pieced with the same paper used on the card base. Her earrings and shoes are silver, but the photo didn't pick them up clearly.

Thanks for visiting!
