613 Avenue Create- February Challenge - Banners and Bows

Hello, Crafty Peoples!

My fascination with the split card design continues.

As always, Our challenge at 613 Avenue Create is

Anything Goes

with an optional twist
this month it is

Banners and Bows
````````

Aged To Perfection Friends

 I have had this cute little Art Impressions stamp for several years and this is my first time using it.  I want to try a bunch of images on this split card design because it is great for using up paper scraps.  It is also giving me the opportunity to use some of my borders and edge dies that have not been used in a while.

I used my Tim Holtz® Lattice "Frameworks™" Die to create the banners that form the top of the card.  This is a flip-up style split card so after cutting my white layer, I used the die to cut two more layers from scrap paper and layered them on top.  I used the same papers to cut the bottom shapes for the card.  I also included a shimmer vellum layer to add a little glam.   I also added a little Wink of Stella™ to the entire image.

I kept the inside fairly simple.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I look forward to seeing your Banners and Bows at 613 Avenue Create!

Hugz,

PROM NIGHT!!

We have a wonderful challenge over at Stamp-N-Doodle.  I am posting late, but you still have time to enter your project.  The Theme is use Bold,Bright Colors.  I had already colored this image, so I added the yellow base panel and added yellow to her bow and wrist corsage (which were originally a different color).  I embossed the silver panel with a cuttlebug embossing folder and I added a few prima roses. The skirt of this dress was colored by using a glaze made with silver liquid pearls and Hampton Arts crystal glitter.

I think this image appealed to me because it speaks to a time, so very long ago, when girls actually did dress like this for the prom.  I wish young people still had something to look forward to after age Seventeen!
