Good morning and welcome to day one of the September release samples - we have 8 new sets releasing this Thursday and I can't wait to show you what they are! My sample this morning uses Art Deco Backgrounders - which is as you might guess an Art Deco inspired Backgroudner! Not being content with one pattern, I made this set a large set and included an option for a second style of backgrounder and some stylish motifs.
I inked up my diamond backgrounder in Versamark before smoothing some black card over the stamp - on huge backgrounder stamps like this one, I simply leave the stamp on the backing sheet and place it face up on the work surface. I ink up and smooth the card down on top, making sure to smooth over the entire surface.
I sprinkled on some gold embossing powder and heated it up! I stamped and embossed the sentiment in the same way, layering it on to another piece of black card. A gem coloured up with copics to match and some tiny black feathers and I was done. Simple - the detail in the backgrounder stamp does all the work!
The Sentiment comes from another new set - Putting on the Ritz - a complimentary sentiment set which oozes 20's style.

Made the mistake of not getting the pinstripe last month, won't happen again! These sample cards need pinning. Looks like a fabulous release ahead!
ReplyDeleteThought I was over Art Deco, but not now. An absolutely stunning card. The background design is beautifully detailed and the sentiment is in the appropriate style. love Helen
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo - how glamorous! Love those feathers and all that gold. It looks like these sets are going to be superb.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I absolutely love this new set, Claire! So reminiscent of the Gatsby era and all those beautiful fashions and art deco design.

ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!!!!!!! Amazing Claire! <3
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking!! These art deco stamps are amazing Claire!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the elegant look of the Art Deco stamps, Claire. And thank you so much for the Opera Tag stamps to help us get more kilometerage out of those gorgeous dies you designed!!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving this release, especially the Art Deco period stamps. You could design a whole bunch more of these and I would be on cloud nine. One of my favorites is showing ore use of the Opera Tags. For some reason I think I will get a lot of mileage out of these.
ReplyDeleteSo very elegant and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have always been intrigued by the roaring 20's and this art deco set appears to be a great addition... I have a friend that i will pass this along to... she is very into the roaring 20's.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an elegant card - and I think this setis going right to the top of my wish list!
