Also using the sketch above I created this card using the Star Dream Mettallic Copper. Whats wonderful is that most of these colors can be ordered pre-folded as this one was so your ready to create and work quickly. I also used for the strip Curious Metallic Ionised & for the scalloped Circle I used Curious Metallic Anodised. These colors are just stunning. Can you imagine them used for Wedding Invitations ? !
Of course I could not get enough of these GORGEOUS metallic I just had to make a layout using the other sketch.
With this sketch I decided to do a layout using some more of these YUMMY Star Dream Metallic in Sapphire & for the rose I used the Star Dream Metallic Mars.
Keep an eye out in the next few weeks for a tutorial on how to make this beautiful cardstock rosette here on our Blog site.

Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteLet me just say how much I love this cardstock!! It is so amazing IRL! Thank you so much for making the difference in my cards, everyone just ooh's & aahh's over them. I even have my Mom and several friends using it with me. Thanks again! IMHO it's a must have whether you are a cardmaker, or a scrapbooker or even both!
Cheryl
Norma,
ReplyDeleteI'm in and my interpertation of this great sketch can be found on my blog at http://cherylhorton.typepad.com/inspire_me/2008/08/happy-holidays.html
Thanks again for such great paper. It always makes my projects look fantastic! Cheryl
Here is my submission for the second sketch. I love Stardreams and especially love the fact that it also comes in text weight. You can add lots of layers and yet keep your card weight down.

Now to try the first sketch.
Ok, here is my second submission using the first layout. Wish you could see this one in real life, scans and pictures just do not do justice to this fabulous paper

I made a card using Norma's top sketch (and a similar sketch from the Sketch This blog). Both the pink and teal papers are the beautiful cut cardstock. :)
