Something Old, Something New...

I just wanted to share my first card with you all as part of the Stamp Something Design Team! It's the first time I've been on a DT and I have to say I was pretty chuffed when Erin and Denise over at the Stamp Something Challenge asked me to be part of their team, so I hope I haven't disappointed them with my first offering! The challenge this week is sponsored by My Grafico, and the theme is "Something Old, Something New..."


We were given a set of rather funky digital images all wedding themed, and were asked to make a card. I have to admit I had quite a lot of technical problems, I am not the world's greatest when it comes to the technical side of computers! Once that was all sorted, I went for the wedding cake image, which caught my eye from the start! Here's how I went about making the card...

After printing out the cake image, I used my Promarkers (Blossom & Cool Grey 2) to highlight areas of colour on the cake and cake stand. I added some colour co-ordinating gems to the stand to give it a bit of wedding bling! I used my rectangle Nesties to cut out and frame the cake image. Behind the image I used the Swirl embossing folder on my Cuttlebug to emboss the white card, and mounted the layers using 3D foam so they stand proud of the card. The ribbon and pearls were added to give it an extra wedding feel. The background paper is printed from a Pink Petticoat CD, Doodlicious I think. Voila!

Just pop over to the Stamp Something blog to check out the challenge and all the other fab DT cards. Hope you'll be able to play along with us this week! Happy Stamping :)
