Gingersnap Monochrome : blue moon card

The theme this week at Gingersnap Creations is Monochrome
I went for shades of blue throughout the front of my card, with a little surprise, as I have used double sided card, the inside of the card is brown.
All the paper and card is from the Paper Temptress (this month's sponsor at Gingersnap)
I used
double sided card
Blue sparkle card
heavyweight Vellum
White glossy card

The image is from the Stampsmith.

Prepare for a busy blogging day , this is post one of four. I was going to do one long post, but decided to split them as I know some people are more interested in knitting some in cardmaking, etc.
So post one is cardmaking.
The Paper Temptress is kindly sponsoring the gingersnap challenges this month, and as part of the the design team wer given the opportunity to try out some of the delisious papers and card.

On this card I have stamped the stampsmith image onto Ultra high glossy card, which has been mounted onto laser silver lustre (silver), mounted onto a card made from Sparkle Noir ( a lovely black card with a subtle shimmer), and wrapped with heavy weight clear vellum. (gorgeous quality vellum)

I have attached the vellum with white ribbon, added touches of white flower soft to the image, and stamped the wording on the front with white ink

gingersnap challenge : cosy home

This month the challenges at Gingersnap are being sponsored by the Paper Temptress. The Design Team were each given the opportunity to choose 10 sheets of card/paper to use in this month's challenges.

Amongst my choices was this wonderful double sided card, which I thought worked perfectly with the cosy home theme as it is red on one side and orange on the other.
This card is amazing quality, perfect for a base card. I've emphasised the doubled sided colour by tearing the aperture. The house (from PaperArtsy) is also stamped onto the card, and coloured with whispers marker.

As you can see the card also takes embossing well.

I also used a thin strip of the laser gold glossy lustre and ran this through a dymo labeller for the embossed words.

I finished this pyramid card with a gold ribbon and a battery operated tea light, fo a truly cosy feel
