Family photos

June 20, 2011

Before the boys left on their trip back East we had a few family photos taken in honor of Nicholas turning one and Benjamin turning 9. I thought I'd share a few of the good ones...

White on white! I used an iridescent foil on white card stock for subtle detail. The hot foiling is not perfect but the tone and tone look and layers hide the imperfections. White wedding! #framedandfabulous #buffalocheck #hotfoil #stampinup #cardmaking

A white wedding card with a little black tie! This card is so much prettier in person. I had such a difficult time trying to photograph the white irridescent foil on the Basic White Cardstock. I used layers of white ribbons, vellum, cardstock, and foil to create this look. Card created for @stampinfancyfriday B&W challenge. BUFFALO CHECK HOT FOIL DIE FRAMED & FABULOUS HOT FOIL DIES #stampinup #frameandfabulous #blackandwhitecard #cardmaker #cardmaking

I’m not a blending brush expert. Ink blending takes patience, and time but when you stamp on top of it, you can hardly see the mistakes… ha! Spooky trick. I used a circle punch and post it note to create a simple mask and set to blending a moody night sky. Cards created using the ‘Oh My Fright’ stamp set for #gdp568 #ohmyfright #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmakingreels

Teal or purple?! Both are great for a spooky background. Colors used: Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Fresh Freesia and Berry Burst I can't decide if I have a favorite? The greeting and bat images are from the 'Oh My Frights' Halloween stamp set.
