Club cards

It seemed appropriate to me that I did a red card in honor of the Chinese New Year. This is one of the three cards that I had my Ladies complete at the last club.  It uses one of my favorite sets, Asian Artistry (man, I'll be sad when that set retires. {sigh}) The image was embossed with Versa Mark and Gold embossing powder and then colored in with markers.  It's a sparkly card!  Love that.



This next card also has an Asian feel and uses the same set.  (Gotta get my use outta it before I can't use it to demonstrate anymore. {sob}) 
It also uses that To the Nines DSP, which I think is great.  That DSP pack grows on me every time I look at it.  I also like that it has a heavier feel and a textured "softness" to it.  The paper just feels good to the touch.  I can only describe it a s a softness.  It's a good pack for "manly" cards.  My husband and son always like the cards when they have some of this DSP on it.  Go figure, huh?

The last card of the club was the technique card.  We did the Herringbone technique using a piece of card stock run through the Xryon machine and then 1/4" strips of DSP from the Autumn Traditions.   It's a little time intensive, but I like the finished look.


I hope you found something to inspire you.  Thanks for stopping by today.
