I pasted this colored embossing layer over a very vanilla card base and left aside for a while. In a separate piece of...

Women are angels

Hi there! I’m back with Creative Vision Stamps. Today I have a card with a fun sentiment. Women are angels… I don’t think so!!! The base of my card is basic black cardstock and I made a second layer with whisper white cardstock using a scallop stitched rectangle. The perfect base for the decorated layer. I used a piece of decorated paper to make this layer.  I feel that the single image of the flower and the flourish background coordinate perfectly with the message Women are Angels. I really like the snarky stamps messages of...

I love cupcakes

Hi everyone! Today I have to be honest with you.  I love cupcakes but during the last three months I have been in a very strong diet and I am dreaming with a cupcake or chocolate. The good news is that the diet is working, slowly but working. The good thing is that at least I can enjoy stamping and painting cup cakes. The base of my card is basic black cardstock and I added a second layer using decorated paper. I combined two different designs, one in diagonal stripes and the other using the back side of the same pattern. It comes in a single...
