The Appearance of Cameos

My plan was to set these Silhouettes stamps aside for a while as I have been using them quite a bit on my cards. They are really hard to resist and totally my new favorite stamps to play with. After seeing the Moxie Fab challenge for the appearance of cameos and the beautiful write up and photos of etched cameos I was so inspired & had to make one last card with them. I decided to combine both the Moxie Fab challenge with the monthly Hero Arts theme of Love and Friendship and this is what I came up with. There's still time to add a card, so get busy and start stamping!! :)
Here is a quick picture of the LP195 Three Silhouettes stamps from Hero Arts...ah I love these ladies :)

Pearl bead strand
kraft cardstock
LP195 3 Silhouettes
CL218 Love That

90 minute challenge & HA inspiration!

Just a few cards and a quick post this evening. I was lucky enough to have the time on Saturday morning to play along in the Hero Arts 90 minute challenge hosted by sweet Barb. It really is too much fun & I always seem to get a little frantic close to the end of the challenge and once again ended up with black ink smudge on the front of the card! A white gel pen is perfect to hide little accidents like this! Here is the creation ...

and the inside...

Ended up adding some vintage clasps from my button jar for a bit of added bling!

One other quick card to share which was inspired by Kelly Rasmussen's inspirational photo from Fresh Inspiration Friday and page 10 of the new Hero Arts 2011 catalog ... Start with a message and the card will follow.

Pink cameo - thinking of you

Yay, Friday is finally here, it's been a long Winter week so I am looking forward to a bit of hibernation at home this weekend! Been playing around with a new sewing tool and added some hand stitching on this card around the oval and also a touch on the lace. This card was inspired by the beautiful silhouette card on page 69 of the new Hero Arts 2011 catalog.
