December 9 Remarkables Blog Tour - Affection Collection

I am so excited to be a part of this one day blog tour.  Check out all the participates for some great ideas on using the Affection Collection stamp set.  This set to me is vintage but the hearts with the wings makes me think of motorcycles.  Go figure where that came from.  I hope you like my 3 card designs will inspire you.

My first card I created with a motorcycle theme in mind, but with a feminine touch.
Pink Pirouette cs and ink, Basic Gray cs and ink, Real Red ink, whisper white cs, Labels Collection Framelits, lacy Brocade Embossing Folder , rhinestones, dimensionals, snips, snail and 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon.

My second card could be used as a wedding card or anniversary card.

It uses Elegant Eggplant cs and ink, Whisper White cs, Gumball Green ink, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Everything Eleanor stamp set, snail, dimensionals and large pearl.


My last card I was trying to go for the vintage look.  Of the 3, this is my favorite.
Riding Hood Red cs and ink, Very Vanilla cs, Natural Composition Speciality DSP, Crumb Cake ink, Early Expresso ink, distressing tool, 5/8" Victoria Crochet Trim, Antique Brad, snail and dimensionals.

Hope you have enjoyed my 3 samples.  Great cards to make for a class or workshop. Ideas were inspired from other great SU demonstrators.  Thank you.  Now continue on your tour by clicking the box below.  Stop back soon.
