Black Diamond Mini

Photo Details

Poster: casep

This is the card I made for the November VSN Mini challenge to make a card inspired by the movie, Moulin Rouge. I chose the black diamond costume. I barely got it done in 45 minutes because I had to make the fish scale looking part with a scalloped border stamp and a stamp-a-ma-jig and then I had to add the rhinestones. Whew! Just made it in time!

I CANNOT believe how you did this! It would take me a bushel of Stampamajigs and 45 DAYS to get a card to look this perfect! The scallops and rhinestones are just gorgeous, and look amazing against the black cardstock! This one just blows me away, TOP HATS off to you, hee! Thanks soooo much for playing!

Oh Pat's Moulin Rouge card, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love the top hat image - perfect! I love the silver mesh - wicked cool, where did you get it? I love - and am in complete awe of -the rhinestoned scallops! How the heck did you get that done??? And how many rhinestones did you use??? Totally worth it!!!! It's a beauty!
