Very Versailles Opulent Card – Which do you prefer?

19 August, 2019 by lizyuille 3 Comments

19 Aug

Very Versailles Opulent Card – Which do you prefer? I have been meaning to make some more cards with the Very Versailles stamp set for some time. It is such an amazing set and can be used to make so many different cards, but today I am embracing opulence.

Very Versailles Opulent Card Soft Suede and Copper

I have chosen to use copper foil and heat embossing to give this card that opulent feel. What I really like about this card though is that it is actually not that difficult to put together. You do need to do some simple die-cutting and a little heat embossing, but other than that, it is #SimpleStamping.

Now, are you wondering why I asked which one you preferred? After all the cards are basically the same! Well, they are a little different, it is just at small change in the layout, but I definitely prefer one to the other. But which do you prefer? The one with more empty space at the bottom or the one with less? Please let me know, just leave a comment to this post and let’s see which way the majority goes. I wonder if you will choose the same one as me?

A must remind you of a quick tip I gave you in the video. Die cut the scalloped oval from the centre of the copper foil mat. No one will know, well other than me, and it will save you having to use a second piece.

I love that you choose me as your demonstrator. Remember, when you shop with me online, use the monthly Host Code to share the Host Rewards.

    These cards do resonate opulence! I love that look and feel. I do like the one with more space at the bottom…it gives the idea that there is more to come inside. Thank you for sharing your beautiful ideas!

I am being realistic and we have reset my Personal Bests for during this time in my life. But each week back at the gym is increasing those Personal Bests, which is great for the ego. It's all about being realistic.
