Art deco Style…
I have posted this card at the request from two of my ladies, who are having a card making day soon to make some art deco style cards. Here I have used some images from the Do crafts Papermania Art deco Collection layered onto black cardstock, and added a touch of lace. I think the secret to Art deco is to keep to geometric shapes – no soft curves or frilly bits here! Even the lace I have used is angular.I also think black is a good base for this style of card, and if you don’t have black cardstock for bases, use black for your layers. square, diamonds and triangles are all good for Art Deco style cards.Thank goodnes for the weekend, and cooler weather – i am so looking forward to some quality time in the craft room.. Til tomorrow….
Art Deco Style number 3
This the third in my Do Crafts Papermania Art Deco series, and tomorrow we move onto something a little different… For this one, I have stayed with the black/purple colour scheme, using black and wisteria wonder cardstock from stampin up. I used a Martha stewart border punch, and then just some black lace and a bit of bling to finish. I have been busy making cards for orders today, but I am itching to get started on the new box of goodies I got on the weekend from Stampin Up – hopefully this evening I will make a start on that! Til tomorrow….
