Happy Wednesday!! Well - we are buried under about a foot of snow here in central Indiana - so I took that as a sign this morning that someone was telling me to "Slow Down and Stamp!" - LOL!! We've been SO busy these past few days - we left Friday for a weekend trip to Chicago and then spent the past couple of days trying to get caught up from being gone and preparing for my hubby's 35 b-day yesterday! I hadn't been able to stamp since Friday - so it felt good to do some stamping this morning! I made a card for today's SCS sketch challenge - you can view the sketch here. I used one of my most favorite MFT sets of all-time - the "Maid For You" set - I paper pieced the wallpaper on the image with some MFT digital paper from the new Stephanie Fizer line - it's the Spring paper pak. I used the paper toile technique on the rest of this image and colored it in with Copics as well. I wanted to showcase my little flowers on my card - here's a close-up of them...
I didn't have any yellow Primas in my stash to match my paper - so I decided to use some of my new Shimmerz to make some pretty little punched flowers to match!! Shimmerz are this week's featured product for MFT's Weekly Wow - and they are YUMMY!! Here's a
link to all the shimmerz in the MFT store. I made my flowers by first punching them out of white cardstock - I then colored them with a pale yellow Copic marker - the reason I did this was because the Shimmerz are a bit transparent in their color and wanted my color to by more opaque. Once I had them colored - I brushed a wash of Golden Wheat Shimmerz over then - and wow - did that really make a difference - my little paper flowers turned into some little beauties!! I put some black brads in the center and then put them on my card. Want more fabulous Shimmerz ideas??? Check out Kimmie's HTDT? Tutorial over on SCS - here's a
link - it is FABULOUS!!!! Thanks so much for stopping by - we're off to play in the snow!!
