Friday err Saturday Mash up!

Evening All,
I had a few minutes tonight to try my hand at one of my favorite card challenges. I went on over to the Friday Mashup and they had a cool new challenge:

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using "A Monochromatic Color Scheme".
2. Create a project "using Baker's Twine".
3. Or Mash it Up and create a "Monochromatic project using some Baker's Twine".

I actually intended to"mash" it up and use Bakers Twine but ended up with liking another accessory and stayed with the monochromatic theme. Check it out:

I used my water color crayons on water color paper on the Swallow tail stamp all in shades of blue (Baja Breeze, Marina Mist and Night of Navy). After coloring and stamping I put a little iridescent ice embossing power for extra sparkle! Though I am not sure you can see that in the picture. A little Baja Breeze pleated ribbon and one of the sentiments from Just Believe.

Hope you enjoy it!

Stained Glass Swallowtail

Morning All,
Thought I would share another card I made recently for my club members before I start my day. I am in LOVE with the Swallowtail butterfly stamp in the new mini and have really loved using it. I really wanted to highlight the intricate detail of the stamp and thought no better way to do that then to use the stained glass technique.



I heat embossed the butterfly in Pewter on Vellum Cardstock, then I used my daubers and added Pool Party, Island Indigo and Wisteria Wonder ink to the back and sponged the edge of the Tea for Two DP. Love the effect!
Have a great day!

Frosted Swallowtail

Evening All,
I thought I would start sharing some of my creations from the past few months. Even though I haven't had all the time I would have liked I did manage to sneak in a little bit of "creative time" here and there! I am sharing my favorite stamp from the new Spring Mini: Swallowtail

As you can see I also added the beautiful new designer paper: Tea for Two!! So beautiful and the wide arrange of prints are very versatile!! Hopefully you can see that I used the embossing powder from the new mini: Pool Party (of course!) and then I actually tried my hand at an idea that was listed in the mini. I took the frosted white shimmer paint and went over the embossed image with my aqua painters and WOW what a shine! Love the effect!! This is a must try!!
Have a great night!!
