Art Nouveau Card

Hiya Peeps,

For today's card, I tried to keep things simple and used an art nouveau theme to create a simple but luxury handmade card.

To make this card, I used

1. 13x13cms square cream cardstock.


2. The image stamp is from the Dover art nouveau cd's printed onto Letraset bleed proof paper and coloured in with Promarkers.


3. Travel, Explore and Discover stamp from Crafty Individuals.


4. Gold printed Vellum from Papermania Signature collection.


5. Gold Mirri Board

To achieve a slightly faded vintage look, I tore a piece of paper and used it to cover 2/3rd of my card, after which I stamped my motifs using brown/copper ink pads.

I'm also loving the Dovecraft ready stick ribbons in their Christmas fancy and jolly happy Christmas collections.I've used the ribbon here from the Jolly Happy Christmas stick-on ribbon for a card that is far from christmassy.

I've entered this card in the following challenges:

• Passion for Promarkers Mega Christmas Challenge


• I <3 Promarkers Anything Goes Challenge

Hope you like it!

Till next time,

A Vintage Christmas

Loving this beautiful Decoupage card. I think the vintage look is starting to grow on me, and there is nothing that says a merry traditional Christmas quite like this card.

This gorgeous vintage greeting card, was made using Anita's Victoriana Die-cut Decoupage Duos.

I love the fact that you dont have to use scissors, you can just pop it out as it is die cut! It really helps save time in your decoupage projects and handmade card making. Plus I think the poinsetta looks absolutely fab decoupaged and it doesn't get more traditional vintage christmas card images than that.

Till next time!
