let's go art deco (WMS)



Joining the Pajama Party - the Art Deco, B/W with a splash - at Waltzingmouse Stamps.  Love that product.  And I'm a sucker for Art Deco. Did you know it had a birth of sorts (furniture/glass) in the town of Nancy, France?  We've been to the museum there and the woodworking on display is phenomenal.  Even strolling the city streets is a feast for the eyes when you discover all the Art Deco elements in the architecture.  A few tidbits for you...

And here's my card for the PJ party.  I think this Folk Art Medallion has touches of Art Deco.  Lots of Versamark stamping and white embossing.  Which ain't fun on black if ya know what I mean ;)


 Hope you enjoyed your visit here today.  Thanks for looking.

  1. Love the Deco look of this card Maria. White on black is so pretty and that little pop of red just makes this card. Love it. My house was built in 1929, and has one or two of its deco designs remaining. Wish I had a few more...Have a great weekend. Bev

  9. Love the white embossing! I'm also a fan of art deco; we're going on an art deco architectural tour tomorrow morning in Miami. Wouldn't have stopped in Miami otherwise. :-)

  11. It is definitely not fun to white heat emboss on black and I'm duly impressed that you did such a brilliant splatterless job of it, Maria!! In fact, I can't stop staring at it!! Hugs, Darnell
