It's Fri-yay! I have another Nancy Drew card today! The Bungalow Mystery challenged my creativity a bit. I was leaning towards jewels the whole time as Nancy and Laura were trying to keep Laura's jewels safe throughout most of the book. I just couldn't find a jewel in the stamp collection. And then it hit me! I inherited a few (now old) Paper Pumpkins from my (sadly) deceased friend, Krista. I thought I'd seen a jewel in one of them. Yes! July 2016 You're a Gem! Here's the card I came up with:
I stamped the little gems in an array of colors. Then I used the little sparkle stars stamp from Darling Donkeys and embossed them in gold. The sentiment was embossed. I used some '24-26 glimmer paper. I think it is in Summer Sun. I added some gold trim and it all went on a Basic White note card.
Luckily, Laura's gems were kept safe and in the end she gives her new, dear friend, Nancy, an aquamarine ring!
I do say this is so much fun! 😄
Happy Stamping!

I love it! This is just the first case involving jewels (apparently everyone in Nancy Drew land has a jewel collection) and I love what you've done here. The gold embossing, the glimmer paper, it's all excellent! Thanks again for playing along in the Nancy Drew Challenge!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christy! I think you've started something. I can't read a book now without designing a card while I'm reading it! lol Which isn't a bad thing at all! It's rather fun.
