SU180 Bra-vo!

I've been galloping along with Christmas cards but I need to interrup to show you this card. First of all, I'm really excited to be using a stamp set that is actually in the current calalogue! I swear that SU! keeps a record of the stamp sets that I buy then discontinues them for the next catalogue!! LOL

I know what card I'm making for my five son-in-laws for their birthdays! They will get such a hoot out of this card!

I found the pattern HERE. Thanks Frances.

I stamped, cut apart and sponged all the edges of the bra. For the lace edging, I cut Perfect Plum cardstock using the Nesties scallop oval - see photo below. I punched a set of flowers using the Spring Bouguet punch before I cut the lace on a curve. Flip the lace piece over to match with the other scallops and cut the second piece of lace. Then I punched another flower as I want two of the same flower. I'm going to save the middle piece for a pattern for other cards.

Once I glued the lace scallop to the bra cups, I layed them on my ladies chest and chalked a little cleverage.

I painted a scrap of white cardstock with Frost White Shimmer paint, let dry then punched the circles to the center of the flower clasps.

Cardstock - Blush Blossom, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, White.

Ink - Perfect Plum, White pigment.

Stamp - Simply Said.

Accessories - SU! Frost white Shimmer Paint, Nesties scallop oval, SU! Spring Bouquet punch, sponge, white pen, circle punches.

The rest is straight forward. I hope you will give this a try. Too much fun! By gully, if I didn't know better, I'd swear this was my body ...er... am I dreaming!!!

Thanks for stopping by today.... On my next post, I'll show you my ladies matching undies. Make sure you come back, or better yet, become an e-mail subscriber and have my posts sent directly to you!

SU109 Reflection Technique

REFLECTION OR MIRROR IMAGE TECHNIQUE:

Ink an image and stamp onto card stock.

Ink the same image and stamp onto wax paper.

Turn the wax paper over and line up to create a mirror image.  Rub with your fingers over the wax paper to transfer the image. Use light pressure for a lighter or watery image, more pressure for a crisper image.

Color the reflection a lighter color and tone than the main image for images reflected on water or ice.

Picture instructions can be found HERE on Splitcoasters. Her demo is done with acetate. I use wax paper instead.

Cardstock - Tempting Turquoise, White, Elegant Eggplant.

Stamp Set - Festive Favorites.

Ink - Elegant Eggplant.

Accessories - Wax paper, Brayer, White pen, Cuttlebug, Snowflake Folder, Pencil crayon, Chalk.

Added some Faux Stitching.

Inspired from a card by Rascal.
