"Lacy sunday" Card

Hello ladies, My, it feels like such a long time since I posted...I have been very busy opening my ETSY store; I now have 15 cards up, and I sold 1 yesterday !!! It was very exciting getting my first sale..I don't really know what to expect since there are so many people that sell cards on line and I am in Canada.
Time will tell...

I have also been having fun receiving people and visiting others on the OWOH event; it is my first year participating and I am giving away 3 cards; come and leave me a comment if you are interested; and here is a link for anyone that may not know about the event...

I do some accounting and bookkeeping for my girlfriend who is self employed; I mentioned to her the other day that I was out of lace, and to thank me for all the free help I gave her this year, she sent me a box of
amazingly beautiful lace...All sorts of colors and styles, width and length....I was thrilled...Today I had the pleasure to work with it, and this is the outcome;
Lacy Sunday ( isn't that a great name; my hubby came up with it)...

I did a lot of inking and glimmer misting on the papers, the flower and the laces to age them. I fabricated  the flower, added some music notes in the corner, glimmer misted the whole card to give it that magical shimmer.

I decorated the inside with more lace and a little border that I also inked.

I love the vintage look and feel of this card...

One World One Heart 2011

Hello Everyone, I am so excited to be part of this wonderful exchange. My name is Gisèle, and I live in Québec, Canada; french is my mother tongue, so please feel free to leave your comments in french or english. I am primarily a card maker, but have started venturing out into mixed media lately. I have always dabbled in this and that, but started making my cards after an accident that left me with an injured nerve in my neck, which is very painful and causes me restricted mobility. I can honestly say that art changed and saved my soul...I have a beautiful garden with a wide variety of flowers...I love paper, paint, textures, stones, beads, wire, colors... I have learnt so much in the past year from beautiful and generous bloggers...I am honored to offer these 3 cards to one lucky active blogger who leaves me a comment, with contact information. I will e-mail, as well as post,  the winner on February 17th, 2011. Now, I am off to visit all of you across the world..
Bon Voyage tout le monde !!!

"Old Hollywood Romance" Card

What a beautiful sunny day...Today I felt like going over the top a bit...And of course with Valentine's just around the corner, romance is in the air...So here is one of my interpretations of romance ...I love the Webster's Hollywood Vogue paper, but I really dislike the roses combined with the daisies...To me, these roses are soft, romantic, luxurious, and daisies are field flowers, they're fun and abundant...I guess the florist in me is coming out  ( I have my certificate and worked in that domain for a year)...So I fancy cut the paper, inked the edges, applied some bling and some glossy accent on the tail, as well as some of the roses.

  I stamped and heat embossed the chandelier; I must say I love embossing, and if you said I could only have one bottle, I would choose this one, I just adore it....Added some bling, of course, to the chandelier

....Inside, I used an embossed paper, added a Webster's tag, a Websters silver trim and some Graphic 45 cut out roses....

Products used : Papers: DCWV Mariposa and Webster's pages Hollywoood Vogue; Rangers Glossy Accents, Tim Holtz Wild Honey Distress Ink, Prima Annalee Canvas Chipboard, Webster's Pages Hollywood Trim, Graphic 45 Le Romantique...beads and bling were gifted to me...

"Inspire" Card

Hi there, today I wanted to work with a color combination of blue and mauve; so soft and calming. My base paper is Basic Grey Wisteria White Dynasty, the doily is packaging from Prima. I border punched and pleated some crepe paper around the doily and added some pearls to it. The crocheted flowers, as well as the mini roses, are from "I am roses",http://www.iamroses.com/ a fabulous, inexpensive supplier of flowers.The one in the middle I made myself, super quick and easy, below that, such a darling little one, is a Webster's pages Whimsey; I bought these on E-bay at YourScrapBookSupply http://stores.ebay.com/yourscrapbooksupply(Oh My Gosh, compared to Canada, I paid about half price for everything, and she gave me an excellent quote for shipping ). I don't usually promote my suppliers, but these two are worth mentionning.  Anyhow, back to my card; I glued down various beads gifted to me, added a in Prima Say it in pea rls Grey corner, my cut out is from BoBunny persuasion. I am showing the word INSPIRE because it can be used in french ( most of my clients are french speaking), or english....The inside is a Prima chipboard....I am very happy with the outcome... Bye for now....
