Papertake Weekly Challenge

This week's challenge theme is "Elegant Embossing".

I have gone for a minimalist theme with just a few colours and simple matting.

The embossing folder is Provocraft's Allegro and I have matted it onto black cardstock. The image is Penny Black's Ode to Joy, which I have watercoloured and matted onto black cardstock. I added chrome brads to the corner. The black glitter paper is from DCVW's Glitter matt Stack. I added that for a bit of glitz and sparkle.


Hopefully the result is a stylish, simple card.

Ode to Joy!

My mum loves this stamp so much, she has asked me to make 16 postcards for the children she works with (she plays the piano for them). I have finally finished them this morning - however there are only 14 as my beautiful younger monster "helped" me by scribbling all over 2 of them!! So back to the stamping for me later.

But here are four of them.

The stamp is Penny Black's Ode to Joy and I have watercoloured it, mounted on black card and then hammered white card cut to postcard size.
Some have been mounted straight, others at an angle - I couldn't decide which I liked best.

I hope the children like them
