| My card for a lovely little free spirited Princess. I used a purple card that I found at Michael's for 99cents(not a bad buy with envelopes for 8 of them) as the base. I found this lovely scrolly frame from http://dtsartblog.blogspot.com, She made a Svg that was perfectly princessy, I used a couple of different fonts from lettering delights see link below. |
If there was an addiction to scrapbooking stuff, I'd be at the podium, sobbing "My name is Belinda and I'm a craft-a-holic. sob. I have to intently stare at the object I want to make, thinking of all the "stuff" I could use. Yes, I have EOC - embellishment obsessive compulsion."
I do realize that this is a much better addiction than one to designer clothes, handbags, and shoes. In fact I think my Brown man is quite happy to have it this way. But sadly he doesn't understand my inner desire to watch the glue dry as I add glitter, my stickles fetish, and until recently -cue opera singer-Tattered Angels GLIMMER MIST and Glitter Glam. I'm so in IT and I know it's going to get worse, because I want it in every glorious glowy color. I used pomegranate, and the glitter glam in chandelier. I used some glitter paper from DCWV, but as my evil twin has told me it DOES have an annoying white core, but the paper I got from Pumpkin Crafts AC Cardstock does not. It has a lovely texture too that I didn't feel I needed to use the Cuttlebug on, it's just pretty all by itself.
I swear this is one of my favorite cards I've made and I REALLY hope she sticks it to her bedroom door so all can know her title before they bow and enter.
The fonts I used were LetteringDelights Hallmark and FancyFolk for my lettering.
lol, you crack me up Bel!
ReplyDeleteNow I love this album, so awesome, is that your daughters name? I LOVE it!
hehe I know what you mean about EOC, methinks many have it, but are just too ashamed or afraid to admit it ;-)
You need core'dination to avoid the white core! great for sanding and cuttlebugging!
ENJOY!
Hmm, I know about EOC... Sad isn't it?... Sometimes I swear I have to tell myself "less is best" to restrain myself, but it obviously doesn't always work... ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL, you are cracking me up! I have the opposite problem-maybe you can name it for me. My stuff always looks so plain. Not enough embellishments syndrome? :)
ReplyDeleteA very pretty card.
ReplyDeleteI confess I am another who loves glittery things. A word of warning, when it warms up do not turn the fan on when you have a few colours of glitter open. I had a lovely sparkly craftroom for ages and the glitter traveled all through the house. Including DH who went to work on a building site with glitter on his face and in his hair. I didn't have the heart to tell him as it looked pretty in the sunlight, lol.
OMWord! That is one sweet card. Thank you for posting a link and letting me know you used my file. The post was super entertaining. Great post, fabulous card. Thank you for being a regular to my blog!
ReplyDeleteAwww that pretty Princess is going to love this card. I too have EOC but a different version. We can talk about that Later. You are so funny! Beautiful Card!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I share the same syndrome! and in my case, I think that going to clothes may be cheaper... hahaha :) But I must agree with you, when you like a product, it just seems so much prettier with all the colors available! Anyway, LOVE what you made - so pretty!
