CarolG ... creates (creationsnz): Red Dress birthday

A nicely curvacious woman celebrating her birthday. Because I wanted the red dress to stand out I chose orange (next on the colour wheel) and green (opposite on the colour wheel). I added some cherry lipstick to this digi image. I like using both kinds of embossing, but really dry embossing adds a lot of texture, and I usually use more than one on a card.

Image stamp: Marianne- Snoesjes, coloured with Reno pens.
orange EF: Craft Creations
white EF: Project Life
Circle dies: Spellbinders

Thanks

I am a silver haired wife, mother of four, and nonna of eight.. I come from a long line of crafters, both men and women. I love working with paper and fabric, so on my blog you will see both aspects of my work. I don't seem to have a specific style (too easily distracted) but I do like to get inky with stamps and colour! I hope you will enjoy the variety, and maybe be inspired to try something for yourself. Thanks for looking at my blog. It would be great if you left a message as I always appreciate your comments. Please respect my creativity and use only for personal inspiration. Please do not use my work or publish without my consent. Thank you, Carol.
