We have a NEW Blog Candy Contest! BE A GUEST DESIGNER!

All Blog Hop participants will have the chance to win a Month Long GUEST DESIGNER position on our Senior Design team! That’s right! ONE lucky winner will receive a Guest Designer package that will include April 2011’s Four New Release sets, a selection of Premium Papers, and beautiful embellishments. The winner will also receive a Guest Designer Watermark, Blog Button and have the choice to participate in the April 2011 Blog Hop!

The winner will be announced on the Mark’s Finest Papers blog on Saturday, March 12, 2011.

My first card using today's set, Grandma's Boudoir, is for both the MFP Blog Hop and the Stampin'B Challenge to use bling on your card. As you can see, my bling is the pearl and rose flourish. I'm glad I didn't live in the era of wearing corsets. That looks sooo uncomfortable. But, as the sentiment implies, the corset made you look marvelous!




My second card is a little plainer. I stamped the cameo twice -- once in silver pigment ink and then embossed with Detail Silver embossing powder; and again with VersaMagic Aegean Blue chalk. After cutting out that portion of the blue cameo that would be the stone, I pressed Versafine on it and embossed with clear embossing powder -- twice, to give it a nice shine. Then I glued it down onto the silver image.



The layouts for both of my cards were found on Page Maps.
Make sure you visit the rest of the team members' blogs to see what they did with this lovely set.
