So Chic

My favorite color combo from the new catalog has to be Melon Mambo, Whisper White, and Basic Black.  I guess that's not real surprising....look at my blog colors!


And my first stamp purchases from the new catalog were the French Filigree and Chic Boutique stamp sets.  So, I combined my favorite colors with my favorite stamps to create this WOW card.


Towercard


 


 Stamp Sets:  Chic Boutique, French Filigree


Ink:  Basic Black classic ink


Paper:  Whisper White card stock, Basic Black card stock, Melon Mambo card stock


Accessories:  Melon Mambo polka dot ribbon, large oval punch, scallop oval punch, wide oval punch, crystal effects, micro beads, dimensionals


Now you can't really tell from the picture above, but what makes this a WOW card is the beaded Eiffel Tower.  I covered the tower first with a thin layer of Crystal Effects, then poured on micro beads.  This card has a lot of dimension and sparkle.

I only made 30 of these and I think I used half the container of micro beads.  A little goes a long way!


As a reminder, you have until Sunday, August 9th to  qualify for FREE shipping on orders of $35 or more.  Just email me at melissa42@msn.com and I'll be placing the orders on Monday.
