"Congratulations" Christening Art Card - Combining Stamping and Dry Embossing With Digital Design!

Howzit Stampers!

I'm back today to show you the very special art card I made for my Nephew and Godson's Christening!  I was inspired by my recent W.O.W art cards I've been playing with for the last few weeks and combined some elements from them with digital design to create this elegant card my Sissypoo will treasure forever.

 

I used the 'Congratulations' sentiment stamp from Blockheads Paper Arts exclusive Verses Full Sheet for the inside of my card.

  

I hope you'll stop by my blog, Leigh S-B Designs, to see my tutorial and photos :0)

Until next time, keep stamping!

Hello Blockheads!

I'm back today with the finale of my W.O.W series of Art Cards!  This is Part 4 of my creative adventures into exploring White on White Embossed and Die Cut Layering.  This layering technique is so much fun and the results truly are WOW!

Over the last couple of weeks I've been playing with creating dramatic effects by layering different shades of embossed and die cut white cardstock.  I absolutely love how the combined textures and the play with shadows gives the cards a richness that's filled with luxurious drama!

I've also had the pleasure of incorporating sentiments/sayings and words from Blockheads exclusive Verses Full Sheet set of stamps into my W.O.W art cards.  This versatile stamp set is available unmounted or on cling cushion and a must-have for your collections!

Please pop on over to my blog, Leigh S-B Designs, and check out my latest W.O.W Art Card.  You'll also find links to Part 1 - 3 there too if you missed them!  

Have a great weekend and Happy Stamping!

Hello Blockheads Fans!

Here's Part 3 of my creative adventures in exploring White on White Embossed and Die Cut Layering!  I love that the acronym for White on White is WOW coz these truly are WOW... LOL ;0)

I've been playing with creating dramatic effects by layering different shades of embossed and die cut white cardstock.  I absolutely love how the combined textures and play with shadows creates some pretty spectacular art cards!   Check out Part 1 and Part 2 if you missed them!

All of the sayings and words I'm using for this series of tutorials can be found on the Verses Full Sheet which is available unmounted or on cling cushion.  This time I used the saying,  
A Real Friend...Is One Who Walks In When The Rest Of The World Walks Out,

as well as my favourite embossing folders.  You know I love my dominoes and other game related goodies so these were a serious must have for me ;0)  Blockheads Paper Arts carries a lot of Tim Holtz/Sizzix and Cuttlebug goodies as well as Spellbinders dies which I also used on this card.

Pop on over to my blog, Leigh S-B Designs, for the full tutorial with step-by-step photos!

I've got one more WOW card to share and then I'm excited to show you the Christening card I made for my precious nephew and Godson that uses elements from my WOW series but with some colour included too!  So stay tuned for those!

Have a great stamping weekend!

Happy Saturday Blockheads Fans!

This is Leigh aka The Sharpie Domino Queen and I'm back today to share another White on White Layered Art Card.  I've been having a blast playing with textures and shadows by using white on white cardstock that has been embossed and die cut.  Yesterday I shared my first card in the series, a 'Congratulations' art card for very special occasions - check it out if you missed it.  Today's card is equally as stunning and features the large upper case word 'DREAM' from Blockheads Paper Arts Versus Full sheet set of stamps and some T!m Holtz Alterations goodies.
