I really needed this challenge today! My mojo seems to have been lost amongst the piles of laundry and dirty dishes that houseguests create - and I have yet to find it!! Zindorf's gallery is so fabulous, and I have tons of her cards in my favs! This won't be the only one I case today!
I chose for my first card her Silhouetted Carte Postale, which can be seen here: Silhouetted Carte Postale by Zindorf at Splitcoaststampers. I changed the color scheme from Pomegranate, Black, and Gold to Blue, Chocolate, and Silver (same as my living room!!). I used slightly different stamps, and left off her beautiful lower panel because I couldn't find a single stamp that gave it the same feeling hers did. I also changed the ribbon treatment, and went with eyelets as opposed to brads. I stamped the bg in silver, and then inked up the fleur-de-lis and stamped it off a couple of times before stamping it on top of the french script - to make it look opaque. Then I dragged the edges on the silver pad. I sponged Choc Chip, Creamy Caramel, and Close to Cocoa on my Vanilla panel. My fleur-de-lis on this panel is stamped in Bordering Blue and colored with a silver gel pen. I love the card I made - I think it is totally different from hers, which means I'll have to case it again!! thanks for the inspiration!!!
