Well, hello! Long time no blog! I kind of crack myself up, trying to blog. You see how consistent (not) I am... I want to blog my cards and crochet and photography, but somehow I never do! So here's one of today's cards. This is just an iPhone photo, so not ideal. I'll work on shooting real photos.
This card was for the My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge 367. I like how it turned out. I did some ink smooshing with Distress Oxides first. Then I stamped the butterflies from the MFT set Beautiful Butterflies in Simon Says Stamp Rosie Cheeks ink. I embossed with Lawn Fawn Rose Gold embossing powder... Isn't it gorgeous! I layered with a strip of vellum, per the sketch example, and stamped Thank You from the MFT You Give Me Butterflies sentiment set. I embossed that in the rose gold powder also. Finally I added some Sparkling Clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
I love how this card turned out.
However... there were some mishaps. LOL. I need new pads for my Big Shot and I got smudges all over my background panel when I was cutting the stitched rectangle. then I spilled embossing powder all over my lap, so I had to carefully maneuver over to the small vacuum and suck all that mess up... AND my sequins kept sticking to my reverse tweezers, frustrating me to no end. But all in all... I really like how this turned out. What do you think?
Meanwhile... I'm heading out of town to babysit my sweet 2 year old grand daughter, Zoey, and I get to be in town while my newest grand daughter is born! How blessed am I???
Have a fabulous weekend, my friends...
