Hi everyone, I'm a bit late in saying Happy New Year,
but I hope 2015 has been good for you so far, and continues to be a great year for all of us.
I've been playing with brushos on watercolour paper and wanted to use up my experiments!
I had enough of this piece to die cut these butterflies and thought they'd be best on a CAS card so the colours could stand out.
I'm linking up to a few challenges.
Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge has a thank you theme.
Darnell is celebrating her 700th + followers with an NBUS challenge.
Use new things or things you've had for ages but haven't had a chance to use.
If you haven't visited Darnell's blog before you're in for a real treat, there's lots of inspiration to be had! This embossing folder is a Christmas present so it's having its debut here!
At Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge the theme is to use something old with something new.
These Memory Box butterfly dies are some of the first ones I ever bought so I've been using them for a few years now.
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge the theme is ti use something new.
So it's my embossing folder.
I'm also linking up to a new for me challenge Happy Little Stampers,
I sprinkled my brusho paint crystals onto watercolour paper, spritzed with water and watched the magic happen! When it was dry I spritzed again with some perfect pearls spray to add some silvery sparkle.
Supplies:
Couture Creations Loren embossing folder; Memory Box Moonlight & Kaleidescope butterfly dies; MFT label die (I used a card layer topped with a vellum layer for a softer effect); vellum; Brushos; bling and sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
