PPA84, Paper Players Challenge #37 & CTD 132

What a busy week I've had and then all of a sudden, I had a found afternoon today ~ so ~ I quickly found the challenges that I was hoping to play with and had myself some fun! I really am hungering for spring and the Paper Players Challenge #37  & PPA84 were just TOO perfect ~ I can almost smell the roses! The subtle colors at the Color Throwdown #132 just screams spring to me...and so away I went! 




I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but sometimes what I see in my head isn't quite right and I end up changing everything about what I had originally planned on creating....today was a different story ~ this is pretty much exactly what I dreamed up ~ that is exciting for me and a first! So here's my spring card...


I've got Shimmer Mist on the butterflies as well as the flowers ~ but, it's really had to see in the photos


I had to place my clear block onto my card in order to hold it down ~ here's a little side shot ~


and the inside of my card ~ I'm really pleased with my card!


Thank you so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great day and
enjoy your weekend ~ tomorrow's Friday ~ yippee!!!!

    I agree - very elegant and very creative. Love what you've done with the Top Note. I can imagine what how that shimmer looks IRL. As soon as I saw these challenge colours yesterday when I was browsing, I wondered if you'd be creating something. These colours are beautiful and I sure am hoping I can find some time to try them out too.

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet hearts and
