Classic Cameo

I recently treated myself to some new stamps from Waltzing Mouse Stamps but hadn’t had a chance to use them so I settled down this afternoon to have a play. I love the classic elegance of these images which I think work perfectly for CAS cards.

WMSC115_thumb4The first one is created using the sketch over at WaltzingMouse sketch challenge.

I’ve stamped the cameos and a frame stamp all from WM and heat embossed in either black or white, layered them up on Nestie die cuts and plopped them on some  script patterned paper, adding a little ribbon with some gems across the top.

I made another card using just one of the cameo images.  I cut the oval nestie on co-ordinations white wash card stock and lightly sanded the embossed areas before layering with an oval of black card the stamped cameo image which I've edged with a touch of Victorian velvet distress ink.

Some little flourish stamps, a message and a bit of bling and we’re done. I’m sharing this here -

 Less Is More – Oval

CAS-ual Fridays – White and Black plus one

Crafty Ribbons – Vintage

I hope you’ve all had a relaxing, enjoyable weekend, thanks for visiting...Esther xx

  2. Thank you for joinIng the second challenge 'picture perfect' over on the Crafty-Emblies blog/page.

    What two fantastic cards. I like them both for different reasons.
    The first one with the four sillouettes framed in those beautiful diecuts would be perfect for a male or female. It is very elegant.
    The second one I love for it's simplicity and clean design.
    Both of these are great cards with great framed silloettes.

    I hope you will visit us again and take part in future challenges over on Crafty-Emblies.

    Hugs Lisa. Xxxx DT

  12. These are fabulous cards well done. I really do like the second one and it fits in 'Picture Perfect' perfectly. The simplicity is, I think, what sets it off.
