Sophisticated Duo

Good morning blog friends, hope everyone is well! I was busy coloring and piecing over the weekend, this card featuring Uptown Girls Felicity and Blair. I had this vision before I even started coloring them, I knew I wanted to use Basic Grey's Little Black Dress papers to piece their clothing. It involved careful fussy cutting as the image is very detailed, but no as bad as I thought it would be.


I was having a very difficult time seeing the black ink on the darkest lace paper, so I couldn't cut it out right. I decided what the heck I'm going to emboss it in white. With a little bit of Copic shading, I was very happy with the way it looks.


There's even a bit of a charm embellishment hanging from the bow, a little pewter heart, Swarovski crystal and beads. Classy stuff for classy gals! This card took forever to put together, but oh-so worth it, I adore it.


Thanks for looking, have a great day.

  5. Oh so classy and sophisticated is right! This is beautiful and love the white embossing to bring out the black lace! Must remember that for when I'm using a dark colour paper. :)
