House of Cards

The challenge on the House of Cards blog is still running with the same colour scheme as last week but this week they are asking for CLASSIC AND ELEGANT - I hope my interpretation fits the bill.  I printed some decoupage from Fabulous Fashion by Katy Sue Designs and popped the design onto an embossed top note die from Stampin' Up (Sizzix).  A ribbon bow was added along with a little rose made using SU air-drying clay and a mould - temptations from the new catalogue!!  A simple greeting using circle and label punches also from SU.  I'm enjoying this new challenge and wondering what the technique will be for next week within this month's colour scheme.

    Gorgeous Val - isn't this CD fabulous? I'm just making a card using their Fabulous Shoes CD which I'll post when finished. Love the rose - I ordered that as well and am picking my order up tomorrow.

    Your stripe Bg sets the tone for the classic feel, but it is your image that makes the card sing, it is gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining us this week at HOC.

    Beautiful job! This is very classic. I like the embossed panel behind the feature image that serves as a frame. Great use of designer paper and ribbon as well! Thanks for playing at House of Cards!

    This card definitely fits the classic and elegant style. Love your layout and those roses are just fab aren't they? (I just made a huge batch of different coloured ones when I got mine and have nearly used them all up, so must make some more!) Thank you for joining in our challenge this week at House of Cards. Hope to see you again next week for our next card style. :)

    Hugs, Vannessa
