Cops and Robbers

My friend, Ada, once again challenged me to come up with a card for a friend of her's 18th birthday that had a 'Cops and Robbers' theme...


I was panicked at first, but then figured I'd keep it simple with some prison stripes and a scallop circle covered in some chunky silver glitter...I love the way it came out!

Super Simple Layout!

Found this layout on Krista Fenton's blog, too!  This one is so simple, yet terrific!  I'm thinking Christmas card--with some printed paper and snowflake in the enter--are you with me????

The striped paper is non SU!, but everything else is...I'm so obsessed with striped and small patterned paper!  I wish SU! would carry assorted colored striped paper...

Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Bliss Blue (for the flower)

Another layout...

I saw this layout on Krista Fenton's blog and had to try it...the patterned paper is not SU!, but it caught my eye because it matched SU! colors...I'm obsessed with finding small prints on patterned paper, so whenever I go into the big box store, I always check out the paper aisle...

I liked the rounded corners on the card--the fact that they are not ALL rounded is what stood out for me!

Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Green Galore, Peach Parfait

More Tulipe die....

What do you think of the Tulipe diecut as leaves?  Pretty cool, huh?!

I dyed the paper flower with some Regal Rose re-inker...

Sahara Sand, Always Artichoke, Regal Rose

Now I definitely know....

...that this one is over then top!

I diecut the Tulipe onto a sticky-strip sheet (that super sticky red tape) and then covered in in (retired) glitter...added some red rhinestones and I have myself a super sparkly Christmas card...

It was quite difficult to line up everything straight with that sticky sheet!

Is it too much?

Here's I chose to use the negative part of the Tulip Diecut, layering it over a French Script stamped piece of Very Vanilla...the diecut piece is embossed and popped up with dimensionals...I added pearls to the holes of the cut out...

This is not my usual stamping style, but I'm trying to stamp out of the box...
