La Belle Vie cards

Today, I'll show you two more cards from our shoebox swap, each brings a different look to the La Belle Vie paper.

First, a card designed by Donna Petrie, using the Cup of Cheer stamp set:

I love all the layering Donna used in her artwork.  We used a masking technique and sponging to color in the coffee pot, cup and saucer...lots of work making the original templates to do this technique, but overall worth the effort in the end.  Donna added a bit of bling using Clear Sparkles, and Bitty Opaque Pearl Gems.

Second, a card designed by Vicki Price, using the Jardin stamp set:

Vicki created an elegant victorian themed card.  Using the Black Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Bling Assortment, and the Flutter Paper Shapes together, pulls off the look she was going for.
