My mission statement for this blog: Track the progress of my resolution to start a new craft project every week, create some sweet gifts and bolster my crafting street cred. This is the record of how it's going.

Project 158: Fashion girl card set
Lately I have been making card sets for people as gifts or on commission and I haven't been using as many images because they take a bit longer with the coloring. I found a bit of time in the week to do some thought and decided this gorgeous image from one of Claire's stamps and would make a fantastic set for a friend.
I colored each of the ladies a different color and then decided to use a similar color for the punched border while keeping all of them on a black lace print. The border punch is a new gift from my mom, an EK Success beauty.
The black lace is from the Femme Fatale set from Michael's that my sister bought me years ago - I am down to a few scraps from each page and I ration them out so this was a bit of a splurge for me to use it across 4 cards!
I topped them all off with a blingy diamond stud earring and two corresponding gems in the top righ. I think the font of the best wishes greeting goes perfectly - it's one of my oldest sentiment stamps and the mixed font feels classy and modern here.
All in all I was pleased with the set - a great way to bring in the month of June!
Oh Wow! these are gorgeous Jessie… I love the fab colours and the pretty border is perfect with the image! they make a wonderful set of cards! :-)
