Three in a Row

Hi Bloggers,

Today I'm sharing this card made using the Creative Expressions Vintage Lingerie Stamp Set. It happens to fit in with the Allsorts Challenge Blog theme this week which is Three in a Row. It's been a while since I've entered a challenge so I thought I'd share this card on there.


I embossed a piece of purple card using the Couture Creations Constellations Embossing Folder. I went over it with Black Soot Distress Ink and Cut & Dry Foam.

I stamped all 3 of the corsets from the stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut 2 of the corsets out using Spellbinders Curved Rectangles and inked with Dusty Concord Distress Ink while still in the die. I swiped the ink pad onto my craft sheet and picked the ink up with a wet paint brush. I used this to colour in the 2 die cut corsets.

I cut the 3rd corset out with scissors. I carefully went around the edge with a black promarker to hide any white bits left from my cutting out. I used Dusty Concord and a paint brush to add a few highlights to the image.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using the Jet Black Archival and embossed with the clear powder. I edged it with a little Dusty Concord and matted it on to some black card.

I wrapped some Baker's Twine from the Vintage Set around the card.

I assembled the card as shown and added a Black Glass Glintz in each corner.

I hope you like the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
