Nineteenth Century Ladies Note Card Set

Hi Dreamers,
I wanted to get a post in today and share a note card set I made with three nineteenth century ladies--All from Another Stamp Company.  I went with a monochromatic color scheme in browns and blues  and used a sketch from Crafting Musketeers (see sketch below).





All the cards were stamped with black dye ink.  I stamped on  Sahara Sand ( Stampin' Up) for  the brown cards.  The decorative paper is all from 7 Gypsies.  All the die cuts are from A Muse Studios.


Card #1


  • Tulle and silk satin fabric were tied in a bow on this card









Card #2



  • I used Brown Lace and Brown Organza for the fibers





Card #3



  • Blue Tulle and and Black Satin Ribbon were used on the blue card








A few fun Challenges for my 19th Century Ladies:

That Craft Place: monochromatic
Card a day: die cuts
Live and Love Crafts: warm or color colors
Sparkles forum: fall colors
Crafters' Cafe: Anything goes
Challenges 4 everybody: anything goes
Crafting Musketeers: sketch














I am off to a concert in my local park this afternoon.  My husband is playing with his Big Band.  They will be playing big band music from the swing era.  Should be fun!!  Hope your day is filled with music and laughter.  Love ya
Karen
