Vintage Vogue - three flowers and a tag

Hi everyone, this is my favourite of the 3 cards we made in card class. It involved a fair bit of cutting out but I was really pleased with the end result:

 
I must apologise for the quality of these photos. I used my new i-pad but haven't quite got the hang of it and for some reason when I blog the photos, they don't look anything like as good as they do on the i-pad or computer. There are probably some settings I need to adjust - I just haven't found them yet.
 
I used Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Crumb Cake and Whisper White cardstock, inks and ribbon on these cards. Here's a close up of the flowers (you'll have to ignore my thumb):
 
 
The last card was made using Vintage Vogue, the Big Shot and the Two Tags die. The base card was crumb cake and again I used Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder. For some reason I did not take a photo of the card itself but hopefully you can see it in this picture of all 3 of the cards. I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder to emboss the Elegant Eggplant background:
 
 
I did take this close up:
 
 
Between the lack of photos, the poor quality photos and my thumb, I was clearly having some issues this day.
 
The 'Just for You sentiment is from the Tea Shoppe stamp set. I'll showcase this stamp set at a later date. If you like the Vintage Vogue stamp set then don't delay ordering as sadly it's being discontinued.
 
I'll be back with an anniversary card soon. see you then. x 
 
P.S. I made the 3 flower card again using Pool Party and Indigo Island for a colleague who is off sick. I love these colours. See what you think:

Vintage Vogue class


Hi everyone, here's one of the cards which we made in card class yesterday. We used the Vintage Vogue stamp set for all the cards. This set will be retiring this month and I've hardly used it, so I've enjoyed making these:


I used Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder and Crumb Cake for my colours. There was quite a bit of cutting out for these cards, although this one wasn't too bad.
 
 
As you can see, the ribbon matched beautifully:
 
 
I'll be back soon with the other cards we made. If you would like this stamp set, remember you can only get it till the end of September, and only if stocks don't run out.

The next class will be on the 19th of September, and we'll be making Christmas cards. Please get in touch if you fancy joining us. X
