DAMASK CARD {MY LOVE line}

DAMASK is the last card from My Love line and it is by far my favorite.

I love pretty much everything about it: the off-white-blue-golden-brown colour palette ...

...the smoky gemstone...

...the vintag-y paper butterfly ...

...and the tiny off-white brad, hiding behind lace and rickrack

The card measures 4,5'' x 6,25', is blank inside, comes with a white envelope, and is still available at BRASS AND RUFFLES.

Happy Monday!

BUTTERFLIES CARD {MY LOVE line}

Butterflies card from My Love line is still available at BRASS AND RUFFLES Etsy store

I really like how two red patterns work together. Since the background of the card is quite busy I chose embellishments in similar colours: white and gold.

The card turned out very festive but light and joyful.

P.S. I would love to create something unique and special just for you.  Please email me if you are looking for a card, a photo album, or any other paper creations.

LEAF CARD {MY LOVE line}

LEAF was the first card I've made for MY LOVE line.  I fell in love with the polkadot navy cardstock but it seemed too serious, too masculine for the romantic and lyrical line.

So I decided to add lace, light blue paper, and a delicate coral epoxy embellishement.

The card looked less serious but was still missing somethings.  This is when I decided to add a copper leaf skeleton, a gold-coloured heart, and a gold-coloured frame.
Together with polka-dot flowers these embellishents added a nice feinine touch to the dark-coloured card.

This and other cards from MY LOVE line are currently available at MY STORE.

JOY CARD {MY LOVE line}

JOY is one of four greeting cards from the new MY LOVE line available at BRASS AND RUFFLES.  

I really liked the quote card that was a part of My Mind's Eyes embellishment kits. I was originally thinking of using it in one of my albums or mini books but at the same time I thought it deserved to have a special spot on its own.  A greeting card turned out to be perfect for that.

I also really liked the red epoxy brad with a white heart.  I think it looks really nice on this card and it definitely matches the colours and overall "feel" of the card.

This card is perfect for the upcoming Valentine's day or any other occasion, when you want to remind that special person about love and joy they bring to your life.

A year ago: WEEKEND COLOURS

{Lovingly line} Butterfly card

Recently I've added new items to my Etsy store but didn't get a chance to show them here.  I am planning on fixing this and showcase items from the new line, called LOVINGLY. 


After working on LECHATELIER line I wanted to make something bright and airy.  I began a new project (which is still "in works") but the feel of it was just not right at the moment.  The pieces I was creating were bright and fun, but not very airy or romantic.  So I decided to break my rule of finishing one project before starting a new one and got back to choosing paper for a new line.

I picked light shades of blue and pink, beige and light purple, fresh greens and pastel yellow.

For embellishments I chose butterflies and birds, tiny brads and pearly buttons.

I then collected lace and tulle netting in white, blue, and turquoise. It really helped in creating the airy and romantic feel I was in a mood for.

And this is how the new LOVINGLY like was created.  Here is BUTTERFLY - the first card from the line.  It is light and romantic - a perfect card for a tender, loving message.

The card is blank inside.  It measures 4.5''x6.25'' and comes with a white envelope.

Butterfly card is now available at BRASS AND RUFFLES.

Lechatelier line - Rose

Here is Rose - the second card from Lechatelier collection:

It is not quite fair to call this card "second", because it was the first one I created for this line.

My favorite item is the cute golden embellishment that secures the rose and the leaf:

Just like BLOSSOMS, this card is for sale at BRASS AND RUFFLES

Please visit BRASS AND RUFFLES Etsy store for this and other cards from Lechatelier line.

Brass, Ruffles, Etsy, Lechatelier, and some more ....

I finally did it!!!  I opened my Etsy store!

Welcome to  BRASS & RUFFLES

an online boutique of paper-goodness, filled with one-of-a-kind greeting cards, unique photo-albums, wedding invitations, bookmarks, and paper embelishments. 

The store is only a couple of days old and I am still figuring out logistics.  Meanwhile I am happy to share with you my first "for sale" creation - Lechatelier line.  Lechatelier line was inspired by French castles, Baroque style and vintage ephemera.

This is "Blossoms" - a blank card that could be used for any occasion. 

The card measures 4,5'' x 6,25'' and comes with a white envelope.

Over the next week I will be adding more items to the BOUTIQUE and will be sharing them wiht you over here as well as at BRASS AND RUFFLES TUMBLR.
