Well the Lady Eagles are State Champions! The team that my son helps coach, we are so proud of them! Now I have time to work on some cards for some challenges and work on my daughter's invitations! I have created this card for 4 challenges.
Stampin' for the Weekend-monochromatic week
Play Date Cafe #19-dark yellow, light yellow and white
Cuttlebug Challenge #73-cracked glass effect
Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #43
The Cuttlebug challenge wanted us to try the cracked glass effect by running it through the Cuttlebug. It works! You emboss thick, clear embossing powder on your image and heat it with the embossing heat gun. When it is cool, run it through the Cuttlebug. The stamp that I used is StampinUp colored with Copic markers. I used striped paper from my stash and ran the white panel through the Cuttlebug embossing folder. The butterflies are Quikutz cut with the Cuttlebug. I added the pearls and the Thank You. Thanks for stopping by!
What a great card Julia. It looks fabulous. If you like challenges, drop by www.justscraps.ca where we've just posted our second. Would love to have you play along!
