so now it's Sandi and I's turn to play, create, and hopefully inspire!
At the end of the post I will have my Partner in crime's blog link - cause you know wanta see what that wonderful lady created, and don't want to see what Mr. Nasty has to say today??
ouh wait till you see how pretty Madame Vilaine looks today!
She is all dressed up for the occasion (thank you Liane for your suggestion Madame Vilaine is all dressed up, cause of your wonderful Idea - hope you are feeling better today and that you have a good weekend - without any more sickness! - take care of YOU)
okay so onto My 10 min Card
We have a cute little sketch this morning
But the biggest news is:
" Madame Vilaine"
She has a quick message for Mr. Nasty
Bonjour mon amour,
Est ce que je suis belle?
he he :)
okay so I used a few challenges
for my ten min card I used the Color Throwdown challenge
and for my taking over the top challenge I used the
Just Add Ink Challenge
yhap you are getting two cards today
aren't you lucky!
okay so here we go!
Madame Vilaine is ready and we have had a nice little chit chat, and yha know who is going to win today right?
I used the DSP called Sending Love - it's so sparkly and I just love it
it's in the Occasions Mini Catalogue that Stampin Up have
1 1/4'' and 1 3/8''
look at us go
Madame Vilaine you are a sweetheart today!
I am rocking this challenge today
I got to dress up Madame Vilaine more oftain uh???
Great idea Liane!
I used mini glue dots to adeher the little felt cirlces
I also used Brown 5/8'' Satin Ribbon
I love all the new Stampin Stain Ribbon
now I am going to put a pretty little brad in the center of the felt flowers
I am using the new brads called
Sending Love Pretty in Pink
ofcourse this is in the Mini
on Page 13!
I used my Crop - a -dile
The crop a dile has no problem going thru all the layers!
I beleive I am going to make it
just going to use a glue dot behind the two flowers and VOILA
merci Madame Vilaine
lol
hows that??? he he
Okay so I thought the brown ribbon was a little BLAW
so I added a ribbon bow with a brad - I had 7 seconds LOL
okay well that did take a min or so, but you know what I am so proud of Madame Vilaine and myself he he
okay so I have a couple of up close photos and I also have one more card
I used the Just Add Ink challenge and I stepped up this card
pretty that brad with these felt flowers uh??
This little trick I learned from my friend Lee Conrey
she is so brilliant!
okay now for my stepping up card
remember this is the sketch I used
I did a close version of my 10 min card
but more layers
same excessories and same colours
just put together a little different and added several layers!
What do you think??
okay so have one more photo side by side
ofcourse Madame Vilaine has to say a little something in closing
especially cause she let me win! he he
Au revoir
mon amour Mr. Nasty

Wow! Love how you used the Sweet Pea flowers! I love the brad and bow you put on your first card....brilliant!
Yikes! I have to start my swaps for Regionals, too--cuz I wouldn't want to miss swapping with YOU!!!
As for a name for your technique...how about "Glimmer Shimmer"?
Chris
Posted by: Chris Hnatiuk | 02/26/2010 at 06:27 PM
Your cards are beautiful. I love both of them. Hmmm can't wait to see your tech tomorrow and see if I can come up with a name for it.
Posted by: Christina D | 02/26/2010 at 05:07 PM
Love your cards, but the Birthday one is my favorite, and you did it in 10min. good job.
Max is so cute and your timer is coming to life, kind of cute.
love mom
Posted by: pat methot | 02/26/2010 at 03:40 PM
Shimmery Frost would be a good name for your technique. I just love the colour combo. Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win.

Posted by: Brenda H | 02/26/2010 at 02:45 PM
I love these! Esp. the Birthday one. If I could only get myself to put that many embellishments on one card. For your technique - how about Super Gorgeous Shimmery Multi Colored Background? Hmm - too long? How's Frosted Hues? Whatever you call it - it's really pretty.
Posted by: Dawn | 02/26/2010 at 02:44 PM
This card is wonderful,and you made it under ten. You rock girl.
Posted by: Jan | 02/26/2010 at 02:31 PM
I love your 10 min card, and that paper I think I will cry if we dont get it over here in our new catty it loves great to use. But like I said I like the 10/11 min card the best. And Madame Vilaine is stunning today is she always going to match the card or do you think she a pink lady at heart.
Posted by: Megan NZ | 02/26/2010 at 01:54 PM
Wow, both cards are beautiful. I love them both. They would be good for stamp a stack.
WOOHOO MAX! You da MAN! I am so proud of you. I need to find special treat to send him. I will think of a great name for your background.
Big HUG to all my favorite Canadians furry and non furry! lol
Posted by: Tammy Jackson | 02/26/2010 at 12:41 PM
What a great card!!! I love the little felt flowers and brads!!! So, so cute. I even love your sweet little bow. The colors, the felt, the ribbon....ooh-la-la!!!
I hope I can come back and play this little challenge....it looks like fun!
Oh and please don't forget little Max...he's the cutest!!!!
Oh! I almost forgot....about your technique....how about "Romantic Pearls"
Posted by: Lee | 02/26/2010 at 12:25 PM
How about Iridescent Silken Shimmer as a name for your background. It's such a beautiful background! I'm looking forward to the tutorial:-)
Your cards today are lovely. Of course,I love the pink! That DSP is so pretty.I love the way you combined the stitched sweetpeas with the brads and the ribbon treatment is beautiful!
Madame Vilaine looks so "Pretty In Pink". I'm sure she will catch Mr.Nasty's eye in the outfit:-)
As usual,thanks for sharing,my sweet friend!
Inky hugs,
Janet
Posted by: Janet Swofford | 02/26/2010 at 12:02 PM
I have a name for your technique
VELVET ICE
Yes, Madame Villaine looks just lovely, great idea Lianne, and Mr. Nasty saw her, he said "Oh-la-la", and of course I have now been put to task to make him a little tuxedo! so, stay tuned for that.
and now your card - My goodness such a lovely piece of art, everything about it is just beautiful. I love those two colors together and you just added the extra touches to make it so special
Posted by: Sandi MacIver | 02/26/2010 at 08:32 AM
First off, Madame Vilaine looks stunning! So elegant, it's hard to believe she has a sinister side! ;) Your creations are drop-dead gorgeous! Pink/brown are always a hot combo...the DP is beautiful..I wish they had a pack of just that design! Thanks for sharing. All 6 of us are stuck in the house today due to a snow storm so I will be racking my brain to name your tutorial! I HAVE to win that pdf file..I HAVE to HAVE it..I'm obsessed! ;)
