Black White and Cherry Cobbler

I have another sample for this week's Late Night Stampers challenge of Black, White and one other color, this time using Cherry Cobbler and the Delicate Doilies stamp set

I didn't achieve the effect I started out with in my head, but I still like the card.  The top layer is embossed using irridescent ice and sponged with Basic Black ink.  For the other black layer, I stamped my image with White Craft ink and then carefully sponged Cherry Cobbler on top while it was still wet.

I added a vintage trinket brad, some black satin ribbon, Cherry Cobbler seam  binding, embossed hearts and a little tag with an image stamped from the Tiny Tags set and punched out with the jewelry  tag punch.

Some more shine!

Well, last week I completed Mary Jo's sketch challenge and didn't get it posted so this week I am one step ahead of that! 

I used versamark on my embossing folder and then after I ran the Crumb Cake through it I used Black embossing powder and heated it up.  It didn't turn out quite the way I had hoped, but I will keep trying!!

Supplies:

Friendly phrases

Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Black card stock

Holly Berry Bouquet specialty paper

Red Glimmer paper

Basic Black classic ink

versamark

black embossing powder

Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder

curly label punch

modern label punch

 rosette

rhinestone brads

sponge

5/8" red grosgrain ribbon

The oval of red glimmer paper is actually not a punch, it is the middle of the "O" left over from die cutting using the Serif Essentials alphabet die.

November Stamp Club

Today my wonderful Stamp Club meets and these are the projects for the month of November.

I really love the Cherry Cobbler embossing powder, it is tough to see from the picture, but the "Joy" is embossed with it.

The layout for the month is very simple, but love the Spice Cake DSP and large buttons.

I added a fabric flower to the second page of the layout too for a little fun.

VC Rocks Blog Hop

Welcome to the VC Rocks Blog Hop - Punches Galore! You have probably come from Carolyn Sharkas's blog, if at any time you wish to go back to the list of blogs, you can find it at VC Rocks  .  This will be the last blog hop of the year and I know

you will love the projects!

I have a couple different projects to show you, the first  uses the extra large oval, large oval and scallop oval punches.  The background is double embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder and black embossing powder (the base on the first card is Crumb Cake and on the

second card it is Very Vanilla).

The Designer Frames impressions folder works great with the extra large oval punch making a perfect frame for the punched piece.  Behind the image in the oval, I have used the faux mother of pearl technique which doesn't stand out in the picture.

This is just another version of the same card.

and a closer look...

My next project is a fancy favor box with a handle made using our new lace ribbon border punch.  There are also 3 punched items hanging on some linen thread around the ribbon.  These were stamped with stazon on poly shrink plastic and then heated so they shrunk down to a much smaller size.

I used the scallop circle and decorative label punches for those and made a hole in them with the crop-o-dile before I heated the plastic.

Using the Fabulous Phrases stamp set, I stamped "heartfelt" and "thanks" on two of the pieces of plastic and the flower image from Charming on the third.  The border around the words is from the Four Frames stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed these projects, it has been so much fun to be a part of VC Rocks again this year, I look forward to next year  :) 

Thanks for stopping by!!
