Madonna & Child Cards

Sorry this post is so late today. But it will be worth the wait since I have 4 cards to share with you today. A friend of mine has been having trouble designing cards with a particular stamp set, so she gave it to me to see if I could come up with anything. Well, this morning the ideas were flowing, so I have 4 cards to share. All of these cards use the Madonna & Child stamp set from Stampin' Up.

Here is card #1, probably my favorite one. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the colors are mellow moss, black, and white.

{ Card #1}

Stamps: Madonna & Child (SU) Card Stock: Mellow Moss, White, Black (SU) Patterned Paper: Designer Series Patterns Pack (SU) Ink: Mellow Moss Accessories: Swiss Dots Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Ribbon (Offray), Foam Dimensionals

Here's card #2.

{Card #2}

Stamps: Madonna & Child (SU) Card Stock: Not Quite Navy, White, Bashful Blue (SU) Patterned Paper: Designer Series Patterns Pack (SU) Ink: Night of Navy (SU) Accessories: Foam Dimensionals, Coluzzle, Stampin' Sponge (SU)

Here's card #3. This one is definitely clean and simple. Easy to mass produce for holiday cards.

Here's a close-up showing the embossing:

{Card #3}

Stamps: Madonna & Child (SU) Card Stock: Pacific Point Ink: Versamark Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder (SU), Heat Gun

And last but not least, Card #4. This one came about because I wanted to play with this new shiny paper. Make sure you look at the close-up to see what I'm talking about. The image and sentiment is also embossed on this one.

Look at that shimmer!

{Card #4}

Stamps: Madonna & Child Card Stock: Close to Cocoa (SU), Pearl Metallic (Bindakote) Ink: Close to Cocoa Craft (SU) Accessories: Gold Ribbon (Offray), Clear Embossing Powder (SU), Heat Gun

Hope you enjoyed all those cards! Have a great day!
