Bon Appetit with the Chef

Today's post is a sample of the card I made for the restaurant owners celebrating their 1 year anniversary.  I used the retired stamp set Voila, stamped in Staz-on ink and colored with a blender pen and various ink pads.  I added a touch of Crystal Effects for the bottle on the tray and the chef's buttons for a glassy look.

Stamps:  Voila
Inks:  Staz On
Paper:  Whisper White, Certainly Celery, So Saffron
Other:  blender pen and various ink pads, Crystal Effects

On a separate note, my computer blew up (literally) and I had to order a new one.  It is running Windows 8, which has been a frustrating thing for me to try to get used to.  Plus, I lost some of the programs which I had used to edit pictures, not to mention trying to recover all the information that was (luckily) backed up on an external hard drive.  Add to that Strawberry Festival, an upcoming craft show, and the end of the school year, and I have not been able to post as much as I would like!  I just wanted to let you all know that I am indeed crafting and creating, and I hope to get more posts going soon!

Silver Setting on a plate

The owners of a local restaurant are celebrating their one year anniversary and wanted to thank some people who have helped them.  What a could be more special than using a handmade card to do so?   This is one of the samples I created, although not the winning choice! Notice how the the black embossed with the Lattice Embossing Folder made a perfect placement?  Congratulations, Market Bistro!

Stamps: Silver Setting, Fabulous Phrases
Inks: Versamark, Real Red
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black
Other: Retired Ribbon, Silver Embossing Powder, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, Oval Framelits
