Ooooh, looks like I made lots of cards...
..but no, these are just snaps of the same one so you can see it in all it's detail.This is the Impression Obsession set I mentioned in yesterday's post, stamped in black Versafine onto white card, then painted with Pearl-Ex watercolours.
It's a gatefold card, made with my favourite pale gold pearlescent cardstock
and decorated with a page printed from the Damask Delights CD which had the perfect mix of the pale blue and dusky beigeish pink that I had painted the two dresses with. Totally deliberate of course (yeah, right).
I stamped "shoes" with the Hero Arts alphabet using Adirondack wild plum, then wrote "are a girl's best friend" in a stardust pen. I stamped the swirly bit from the top of the shoe stamp around the words in a pink chalk ink.
A bit of bling was needed - I added some little diamond crystals to the dresses, some pink ones to the shoes and glitter peel off stickers (yes, I admit, I do use peel offs) down the edges of the backing paper.
And finally, I found a little brass charm of a shoe which I coloured with a solvent based marker pen and stuck on with silicone.
I finally got round to sticking my dragon card together, after I solved the "but there's something missing" problem. I put some Hambly rub-ons top and bottom. Just finishes it off and I love the orange and brown combination so much (I'm a child of the 70s) that I've already used some more of the same rub on pack on another brown card.
I forgot to take my camera to my bookbinding class today - I thought I had it, but it turned out I had an empty camera case - doh!So over the weekend I will take some pics of where I'm up to so far with the book (I used My Mind's Eye paper on it, looks stunning) and I have started a slip case which I should get finished. I love the slip case and can see me making more of these in future, so watch this space.

Hi Glenda
The cards are just fab, thank you so much for explaining how you made them, this is such vital information to us newbies. I am hoping to purchase some glimmer mists soon and they idea's that have just popped into my head about the mask. I am now think of making a kind of template thing if that's possible, will have to see. Anyway, thanks again and best wishes for Derrick speedy recovery. lestim
Just catching up with your blog in my lunchbreak at work.
I absolutely love the colours in the girlie card and as usual you were very right about the dragon card needing 'a little something'. The rub ons finish it off perfectly.
